Hello,
Our instructions lead to selection of e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale that
Xlib doesn't like. I propose to:
1) Add installation of /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file to glibc page. Suggested
text:
==========================
With both methods of locale installation, it is a good idea to copy the list of
locales that Glibc maintainers declare as supported, for documentational
purposes:
install -m644 ../glibc-2.3.4/localedata/SUPPORTED /usr/share/i18n
==========================
2) On the "The Bash Shell Startup Files" page, after the words "This results in
a final locale setting of en_GB.ISO-8859-1, add:
==========================
However, there are cases when the heuristic procedure outlined above produces
wrong results. E.g., unpatched Xlib doesn't accept the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
locale (use [EMAIL PROTECTED] in this case) and the message "Locale is not
supported by
the X library" is printed. In such cases, try dropping the character set field
or modifiers, guessing, searching in Google, or looking into the
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file (the first slash-separated field). Verify
yourself by running the following commands:
LC_ALL=[locale name] locale country
LC_ALL=[locale name] locale language
LC_ALL=[locale name] locale charmap
LC_ALL=[locale name] locale int_curr_symbol
LC_ALL=[locale name] locale int_prefix
This should print the country and language names, the character encoding used by
the locale, the local currency and the prefix to dial before the telephone
number in order to get into the country. The commands above should give no
errors.
