Good morning, Finishing the thread from last night, I think it was obvious but for anyone reading later I did re-emerge glibc. OK, it turns out there may still be an issue or two. At least I'd like to get your input on it. All of the issues I had recognized up through yesterday were successfully fixed using the steps above. However when compiling Ardour this morning I found that it was installing locale data for as much as I can tell every language possible. Does this imply there is still a locale issue? If I only need en_US derivatives then why are other locale messages getting installed? Also, I noticed when using slocate that there are some locale directories under X11. In the same spirit, are they there by default or left over from something I did earlier and haven't correctly cleaned up? lightning ~ # ls /usr/share/X11/locale/ C iso8859-11 ja microsoft-cp1251 zh_CN.UTF-8 am_ET.UTF-8 iso8859-13 ja.JIS microsoft-cp1255 zh_CN.gb18030 armscii-8 iso8859-14 ja.S90 microsoft-cp1256 zh_CN.gbk compose.dir iso8859-15 ja.SJIS mulelao-1 zh_HK.UTF-8 el_GR.UTF-8 iso8859-2 ja.U90 nokhchi-1 zh_HK.big5 en_US.UTF-8 iso8859-3 ja_JP.UTF-8 pt_BR.UTF-8 zh_HK.big5hkscs georgian-academy iso8859-4 ko tatar-cyr zh_TW georgian-ps iso8859-5 ko_KR.UTF-8 th_TH zh_TW.UTF-8 ibm-cp1133 iso8859-6 koi8-c th_TH.UTF-8 zh_TW.big5 iscii-dev iso8859-7 koi8-r tscii-0 isiri-3342 iso8859-8 koi8-u vi_VN.tcvn iso8859-1 iso8859-9 locale.alias vi_VN.viscii iso8859-10 iso8859-9e locale.dir zh_CN lightning ~ # Thanks, Mark
