Hi Alexander. Google translate shows me that this message means "Could not be opened". I'm not sure what would show a message like that in GNU make. My suspicion, personally, is that this message is not coming from GNU make at all but rather it's being printed by a program that GNU make is invoking. I would need to see the context including the full text of the error message to know for sure. In any event, GNU make's i18n/l10n implementation never, ever changes anything like whether messages are printed to stdout or stderr based on any of the LC_* values. The only differences in behavior based on these settings are in the output that is printed. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
