You're on Slackware? So am I. Here they are

They are in the glibc-i189n package, but I would point out 3 Things

The Standard slackware64 package only puts files in /usr/lib64, and the standard 32bit package only puts them in /usr/lib. I have Alien Bob's multilib package from slackware.com with both of them.
Linux is case sensitive, and it's en_GB.utf8, not en_GB.UTF8
If you're on 14.2, it's /var/log/packages holds the packages. I think you're somewhere in between, IIRC

do an 'upgradepkg --install-new /path/to/glibc*.txz' from your copy of the dvd. If you have 64bit, and your package is 32bit install the compat32 packages, along with the half a dozen or so that have to be replaced (mainly glibc and gcc stuff).

I think you've already been given a good idea how to set up locales

On of possible solution (hope it will work) from 'man locale': "The following example compiles a custom locale from the ./wrk directory with the localedef(1) utility under the $HOME/.locale directory, then tests the result with the date(1) command, and then sets the environment variables LOCPATH and LANG in the shell profile file so that the custom locale will be used in the subsequent user sessions:

Code:

$ mkdir -p $HOME/.locale
$ I18NPATH=./wrk/ localedef -f UTF-8 -i fi_SE $HOME/.locale/fi_SE.UTF-8
$ LOCPATH=$HOME/.locale LC_ALL=fi_SE.UTF-8 date
$ echo "export LOCPATH=\$HOME/.locale" >> $HOME/.bashrc$ localedef -v -c -i en_GB -f UTF-8  ~/en_GB.utf8
$ echo "export LANG=fi_SE.UTF-8" >> $HOME/.bashrc

"

Do you mean

Code:

# localedef ...

or

Code:

$ localedef ...

?
