[Fink-devel] Re: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to 'en_US' is not supported (gkrellm2)

[Masanori Sekino]

Darwin 6.1 lacks LC_COLLATE nor LC_TIME in /usr/share/locale/*. I suppose it causes this kind of problem.

If you set following environment variable and run gkrellm (or other app), does it works?
$ export LANG=en_US
$ export LC_COLLATE=C
$ export LC_TIME=C

If it works, I'll set LC_COLLATE and LC_TIME in RunTimeVars of glib2-shlibs. Or there's any better idea, please let me know.

Interesting, another fink developer had this exact problem just today. Not gkrellm specific. His fix was to unset the env var LANG first. You probably have LANG as "en_US" in your environment. I think it is a bug in one of the gtk2 or gnome2 fink packages, as it happens with a number of apps.
