When I go to install blackbox I get these errors. Errors are as they appear in the terminal.

Making check in de_DE

I'm using FC2, how can I fix this?

Not sure if this is relevant, but I use fluxbox, and installed it via yum ( i am on fc1 btw)

It probably doesn't like your locale settings. You can find out your locale by either typing "locale" or "env | grep LANG" (it should be something like "C", "POSIX", "en_US", etc.)

Change it to "en_US" by typing "export LANG=en_US" in the same terminal where you're trying to compile Blackbox. Note that the locale changes occur only in the terminal where you exported the LANG environment variable, so be sure to run the configure and make commands from that terminal (after you've run the export command.)

language was already set to enu_us, attempted to change it anyway and i still got the same errors. any other ideas?
