hi everybody,
I'm nearly not daring to pester the list again with this silly problem,
but I'm not able to solve it:
I've installed ion3 via DarwinPorts under MacOS 10.4.7 and it runs fine,
only problem is, every menu entry (and auto-generated comments in config
files?) appears in finish.
the obvious cause (wrong locale) is ruled out AFAIKS:
> locale
LANG="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL="C"
even more obcure: I rsync'ed the whole stuff between the table top
machine and my laptop. on the laptop everything is as it should (i.e.
english menu entries). `locale' yields exactly the same on that machine.
question: any ideas what else can cause ion to thing it should run under
finish settings?
any help appreciated
regards
joerg
PS: and now for something completely different (as john cleese would
have said):
I followed the thread concerning gcc, ld, C and their shortcomings: I
recently stumbled over OCaml as a fast, compiled language which seems
not so strictly/exclusively functional as Haskell. any opinions
concerning that language?
