I get locale warnings *all the damn time*. I'm guessing that OSX has a very nice, pervasive internationalization & localication framework, but the bugs don't all seem to be worked out yet. That or the hooks for getting BSDish stuff to work with the framework hasn't been fleshed out yet. Perl -- and things written in Perl -- seem to be particularly eager to throw a hissy fit over this little detail. In any event, the problem seems to be Mostly Harmless, and I'm not sure that it has anything to do with the presence or absence of the devtools kit. You're getting errors without it, I get errors with it, "let's call the whole thing off". </tomato> A band aid remedy is to make sure that the right environment variables are getting set to the correct things. Supposedly you can appease OSX by creating a ~/.MacOSX/ directory, and putting an 'environment.plist' XML descriptor file in there setting these variables for you. I say supposedly because it doesn't work reliably for me in Aqua, and it seems to be ignored completely in X11. Setting them in your home dotfiles is about as reliable for me so far. It's very annoying to pin down... :/ -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
