<!-- FIXME: the xlib example will became obsolete real soon -->
<para>Some packages beyond LFS may also lack support for your chosen locale.
One
example is the X library (part of the X Window System), which outputs the
- following error message:</para>
+ following error message if the locale does not exactly match one of the
character
+ map names in its internal files:</para>
<screen><computeroutput>Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to
C</computeroutput></screen>
- <para>Here Xlib expects that the character map will be listed in uppercase
- notation with canonical dashes. For instance, "ISO-8859-1" rather than
- "iso88591". It is sometimes possible to fix this by removing the charmap part
- of the locale specification, as long as that does not change the character
- map that Glibc associates with the locale. This can be checked by running
- the <command>locale charmap</command> command in both locales. For example,
- one would have to change "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in order
to
- get this locale recognized by Xlib.</para>

<para>Other packages can also function incorrectly (but may not necessarily
display any error messages) if the locale name does not meet their
expectations.
