'e, 'i, 'o, 'u I was not expecting that, I expected maybe some weird symbols. That looks as if your dead keys are either not working, or are being read so quickly that the system thinks you pressed them twice, which will normally generate the accent itself instead of an accent on the next key you type. > > 9) QUOTE: "do now wonder if somewhere in the system you *are* using an > iso-8859 setting" UNQUOTE. > I somewhere during the building LFS set my global variable > LANG=es_ES.iso8859@euro but I cannot find the place where I did. > I cannot find the file where this settings are recorded > is somewhere in bash, maybe? > > Maybe this should be changed? > Do you know how? > I think ALZ has probably pointed to that (/etc/profile). If not, take a look at what you have in ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bashrc. On my machines, where the basic setup predates much of what is now in BLFS, I set LC_ALL in both of those : "my system, my rules" Please try everything ALZ has suggested in his latest reply. Oh, and can you stop top-posting, please ? Most linux mailing lists prefer to see replies after the part of the text you are replying to. I know some mailers make that hard (I'm looking at you, gmail). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
