Hi,
 
I updated a mc port to the last one, version 4.7.0pre4 and wanted to run mc, 
but mc display a warning message that the selected display charset or source 
codeset does not match one set via locale. I have never seen this message since 
I am a user of mc. Propably it is something new in this new version. The 
version 4.6.2 does not show you this message durring starting application.
 
I wanted to set my locale, but I found out that command setlocale is missing on 
FreeBSD 7.2.
 
Files in directory /etc:
 
login.conf, login.conf.db, csh.login and profile are set as HANDBOOK recommends 
for language localization.
 
My shells are bash, tcsh or zsh, csh for root user. The results are the same.
 
bash:
[u...@server ~]$ LC_ALL=ISO-8859-2; export LC_ALL
-bash: varování: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (ISO-8859-2): No such 
file or directory
 
zsh:
server% setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
zsh: command not found: setlocale

tcsh:
> setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
setlocale: Command not found.

root csh:
server# setlocale LC_ALL ISO-8859-2
setlocale: Command not found.

So my simple question is why is setlocale command missing in FreeBSD 7.2 ? And 
if user could not use locale and setlocale commands like on Linux, how can I 
solve my problem with new version of MC ?
 
The mc message:
 
Confirmation
 
Chosen display charset (Settings->Display bits) or source codeset (in mcedit 
ctrl-t) does not match one set via locale. Set correct codeset manually or 
press <<Fix it>> to set locale default.
 
Or set 'don' task again' and press <<Skip>>
 
[ ] don't ask again
 
[< Fix it >]                                   [ Skip ]
 
BTW in mc there is not any settings with display bits, there is only options 
menu with display bits. Wrong help dialogs ?
 
Thank you
 
Daniel
