And `(setlocale LC_ALL "does-not-exist")'? It looks like setlocale(3) doesn't behave as specified by POSIX (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/setlocale.html). > scheme@(guile-user)> (map locale-day (map 1+ (iota 7))) > ("Sun" "Mon" "Tue" "Wed" "Thu" "Fri" "Sat") It looks like `(nl-langinfo DAY_1)' doesn't DTRT per http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/langinfo.h.html . Just to make sure, can you try this program (assume the `en_GB' locale is available): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #include <langinfo.h> #include <nl_types.h> #include <locale.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <assert.h> int main (int argc, char *argv[]) { char *s; s = setlocale (LC_ALL, "C"); assert (s != NULL); printf ("DAY_1: %s\n", nl_langinfo (DAY_1)); s = setlocale (LC_ALL, "en_GB"); assert (s != NULL); printf ("DAY_1: %s\n", nl_langinfo (DAY_1)); return 0; } --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > ERROR: In procedure string->date: > ERROR: TIME-ERROR type bad-date-template-string: ("Invalid string for " > #<program priv:locale-long-weekday->index (string)>) This is actually the same problem. Thanks, Ludo'.
