Dear Johannes, thanks for helping.
I executed 'sudo locale-gen' and obtained: Generating locales... de_AT.UTF-8... up-to-date de_BE.UTF-8... up-to-date de_CH.UTF-8... up-to-date de_DE.UTF-8... up-to-date de_LI.UTF-8... up-to-date de_LU.UTF-8... up-to-date Generation complete. I then checked /etc/default/locale and it contains: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 According to http://askubuntu.com/questions/383349/ubuntu-13-10-perl-complaining-about-setting-locale, this should suffice (?) Nevertheless, 'make' brings many of these '1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C"' warnings... not sure what has to be set.
