that message is instructing you to do this: $ export LANGUAGE="en" $ export LC_ALL="unset" $ export LANGUAGE="UTF-8-US" although, this seems coutnerintuitive as the 3rd set will overwrite the first. but tahts the gist of it. <div>On 11/28/05, Hakim Singhji <<a href="mailto:hzs202@nyu.edu"> hzs202@nyu.edu</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Eamonn Sullivan <eamonn.sullivan <at> <a href="http://gmail.com"> gmail.com</a>> writes: > > My suggestion is to hold off until after exams. Well like always I receive good advice and completely ignore it... I had a few extra hours with nothing to do... so I thought I might be able to complete an upgrade... To make a long story short... one problem I see so far is that my system is relying on "C" locales as opposed to LC_ALL. I don't exactly know what that means so let me show you what error I received at install: Terminal: ----------------------------- error: perl cannot locate locale revert to "C" as default. Install locale and set: LANGUAGE="en" LC_ALL="unset" LANGUAGE="UTF-8-US" ------------------------------ It was something like this... what does this mean and how do I install the locale files (LC, LC_ALL, etc.)?
