The environment variable setting 'LANG=en.ISO8859-1' isn't valid. Try
'LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1' instead; it might be in your shell startup
scripts or something.
Here's a quick way to tell if a locale is valid (although of course you
could just run perl, too :)):
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ cat testlocale.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
int main() {
printf ("%s\n", setlocale (LC_ALL, ""));
return 0;
}
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ make testlocale
cc testlocale.c -o testlocale
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ./testlocale
C
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ LC_ALL=en.ISO8859-1 ./testlocale
(null)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ LC_ALL=en_US.ISO-8859-1 ./testlocale
en_US.ISO-8859-1
