When I install lyx in /usr the following lines appears:
open("/usr/share/locale/de_DE.ISO-8859-1/LC_MESSAGES/lyx.mo", O_RDONLY)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/share/locale/de_DE.iso88591/LC_MESSAGES/lyx.mo" ...
open("/usr/share/locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/lyx.mo" ...
open("/usr/share/locale/de.ISO-8859-1/LC_MESSAGES/lyx.mo" ...
open("/usr/share/locale/de.iso88591/LC_MESSAGES/lyx.mo" ...
open("/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/lyx.mo", O_RDONLY) = 4
When I install lyx in /usr/local:
open("/usr/local/share/locale/german/LC_MESSAGES/lyx.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
environment: LANGUAGE=german and LANG=de_DE
And now I know where's the problem:
Lyx use the LANGUAGE variable and in /usr/share/locale/locale.alias is
the alias "german de_DE.ISO-8859-1" registred, but such an alias file is
not under /usr/local. After a symbolic link erverything works as
expected. :-)
A little curious is that the help uses the LANG variable, not
LANGUAGE like for the menu.
Thanks!
