Since installing libc 2.2.4 (and with the 2.2.5 branch also) I get
complaint messages like these --
>From Netscape:
Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
>From emacs:
Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
>From perl:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "usa_english",
LC_ALL = "usa_english",
LANG = "usa_english"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
That is quite a lot of graffiti to put up with in a build script!
A few days ago it became necessary to upgrade perl in order to build
gcc. The perl build script fails with similar messages:
# strict refs - error
use strict ;
my $fred ;
my $a = ${"fred"} ;
EXPECTED:
Can't use string ("fred") as a SCALAR ref while "strict refs" in use
at - line 5
GOT:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "usa_english",
LC_ALL = "usa_english",
LANG = "usa_english"
are supported and installed on your system.
