locale help please

[Marco]

Hello,

I don't get locale setting done correctly. I researched and tried a lot. Now
I am more confused than ever.

I think "de_AT at euro" is the appropriate setting for me. It uses iso8859-15
encoding, doesn't it?

Let show you some symptoms of my system:

$ man locale
man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
Reformatting locale(1), please wait...

$ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=de_AT at euro
LC_CTYPE="de_AT at euro"
LC_NUMERIC="de_AT at euro"
LC_TIME="de_AT at euro"
LC_COLLATE="de_AT at euro"
LC_MONETARY="de_AT at euro"
LC_MESSAGES="de_AT at euro"
LC_PAPER="de_AT at euro"
LC_NAME="de_AT at euro"
LC_ADDRESS="de_AT at euro"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_AT at euro"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_AT at euro"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_AT at euro"
LC_ALL=

$ touch test_ö
$ ls test*
test_?
$ rm -v test_ö
removed `test_\366'
