Hi,

If the output of the locale -a command only shows C and POSIX, something is wrong. During the end of chapter 6.9.1 you had the choice of installing a minimal set of locales necessary for the optimal coverage of tests or a full supported set.

Check if the following file is present on your system: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive. If it is not, that is your problem (which could also account for some of your previous problems....).

I'm still able to add to my minimal set after the build, so you could try executing either of the two options given in chapter 6.9.1.

Hope this helps.

Spot on dont know why I didn't do that, ok I see what missed can I just do the command

Code:

mkdir -pv /usr/lib/locale
localedef -i cs_CZ -f UTF-8 cs_CZ.UTF-8
localedef -i de_DE -f ISO-8859-1 de_DE
localedef -i de_DE@euro -f ISO-8859-15 de_DE@euro
localedef -i de_DE -f UTF-8 de_DE.UTF-8
localedef -i en_HK -f ISO-8859-1 en_HK
localedef -i en_PH -f ISO-8859-1 en_PH
localedef -i en_US -f ISO-8859-1 en_US
localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
localedef -i es_MX -f ISO-8859-1 es_MX
localedef -i fa_IR -f UTF-8 fa_IR
localedef -i fr_FR -f ISO-8859-1 fr_FR
localedef -i fr_FR@euro -f ISO-8859-15 fr_FR@euro
localedef -i fr_FR -f UTF-8 fr_FR.UTF-8
localedef -i it_IT -f ISO-8859-1 it_IT
localedef -i ja_JP -f EUC-JP ja_JP
localedef -i tr_TR -f UTF-8 tr_TR.UTF-8
localedef -i zh_CN -f GB18030 zh_CN.GB18030

I take it this will install GB version or would I be better installing all as the next command states. Also would I have to change the chroot enviroment back to the 1st 1 or stay as I am

There are 4 English based locales in the minimal set. But the en_GB is not present. It depends on what you want/need, so it is up to you.

No chrooted environment needed, you can execute the commands as is.

Hope this helps.

Ok I have installed that checks ok. Now I,m at

Code:

cat > /etc/profile << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile
export LANG=<ll>_<CC>.<charmap><@modifiers>
# End /etc/profile
EOF

For the life of me I cannot work out what to fill in "export LANG=<ll>_<CC>.<charmap><@modifiers>" I selected en_US.iso88591.
LANG=English <cc>.ISO-8859-1 <modifiers>

Hi,

Code:

export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1

The <@modifiers> part is optional and probably not needed in your case.

Hope this helps.
