Re: [htdig] Warning: unknown locale!

[Chad Phillips]

Good call.  Testlocale runs, but I don't think it gives the right output.  Any pointers/links on how to set up the spanish locale on on linux or solaris?    thanks chad >>> Gilles Detillieux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 01/04/02 04:22PM >>> According to Chad Phillips: > I am trying to get htdig to index a spanish version of my company's > website.  I added this line to the end of htdig.conf > locale: es > > But when I run the rundig script I get this warning. > Warning: unknown locale! First of all, make sure that the es locale is defined in /usr/share/locale. Especially, you need to make sure it has an LC_CTYPE file to define the character types.  On many systems, you need to use something like es_ES rather than just es.  See also http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.8 > Doing a search does not pull up any spanish words.  I have tried this on > linux (Mandrake 8.0) and Solaris 8.  Both give the same warning.   Someone > had put a test c program in the mailing list called testlocale.c .  I ran > that and it worked. When you say it worked, do you mean it ran without giving any error messages?  That alone isn't enough.  If this it the testlocale.c program I posted over a year ago, you need to look at the codes it puts out for accented characters to make sure they are indeed identified as letters and not as control characters. -- Gilles R.
