Sure. When doing locales work, there are three pieces: * setlocale - sets up the system to use either a locale you choose, or retrieve it from the environment.
* bindtextdomain - Tells glibc where to find the message files. * dcgettext - Actually looks up the localised message in the .mo file and returns it. In glibc, they delay initialisation as long as possible (until the first dcgettext call). However, for some reason dcgettext isn't actually causing the message to be retrieved. It's not even openning the message file. I've spent a couple full days with strace and ltrace and trying a few patches, but the problem is deeper than I originally suspected. My next encounter is a date with gdb and step. Hope that helps. =) Tks, Jeff Bailey -- locales problems with edgy libc6 https://launchpad.net/bugs/49113 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
