Hi all, a chinese user came up with a weird problem.
He wants to process the string retrieved by (command-line) further, in his file-name he used some chinese characters. I tracked it down to the attached minimal example. With guile-2.0.13 I get: guile filename_名字.scm ;;; Stat of /home/hermann/Desktop/filename_??.scm failed: ;;; ERROR: In procedure stat: No such file or directory: "/home/hermann/Desktop/filename_\u540d\u5b57.scm" Backtrace: In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 160: 8 [catch #t #<catch-closure 55cae58fe4e0> ...] In unknown file: ?: 7 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 55cae58fe4e0>] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 66: 6 [call-with-prompt prompt0 ...] In ice-9/eval.scm: 432: 5 [eval # #] In ice-9/boot-9.scm: 2404: 4 [save-module-excursion #<procedure 55cae59209c0 at ice-9/boot-9.scm:4051:3 ()>] 4058: 3 [#<procedure 55cae59209c0 at ice-9/boot-9.scm:4051:3 ()>] 1727: 2 [%start-stack load-stack ...] 1732: 1 [#<procedure 55cae5935db0 ()>] In unknown file: ?: 0 [primitive-load "/home/hermann/Desktop/filename_\u540d\u5b57.scm"] ERROR: In procedure primitive-load: ERROR: In procedure open-file: No such file or directory: "/home/hermann/Desktop/filename_\u540d\u5b57.scm" What to do to make it work? I messed around setting locales, to no avail so far. Btw, the same with guile-1.8: guile-1.8 filename_名字.scm ("filename_�\x90\x8d字.scm") (filename_名字.scm) The string is strange, but at least the file is found. Cheers, Harm
