This is a classic symptom of the locale not working properly. You need
to make sure the locale you're using is actually installed and working
on your system. You have set
locale: fr_FR
in your htdig.conf, correct? If so, you must make sure that the locale
directory for fr_FR exists. They're usually in /usr/share/locale.
If there's no fr_FR directory in there, or no LC_CTYPE file in the fr_FR
directory, then you'll need to find and install the Mandrake package
that contains this directory.
Also, did you install htdig from an RPM file, and if so, which one?
A great many users make the mistake of installing the libc5 version
of the RPM on a glibc 2.0 or 2.1 based system, and locales don't work
correctly in libc5. For Mandrake, you should either rebuild your own
RPM from the source, or pick up the RPM from their site. The Red Hat
RPM on htdig.org doesn't work right on Mandrake. I've been told that
the Mandrake-specific RPM is on this mirror site:
ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS/htdig-3.1.5-2mdk.i586.rpm
