Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the response. I'm suspecting the same thing, but don't
know what else to check.
Strange, that post didn't appear here, neither does it in the list
archives. Anyway...
I don't see anything odd in my environment.
Running "locale" gives me:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
[snip]
I do see something odd.
Like I mentioned in another thread some days ago and again just
recently, those locales are broken.
'locale' *never* returns quotes for me, unless I explicitly tell it to
use it (and break it).
$ export LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
$ locale | grep TIME
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
$ export LC_TIME=\"en_US.UTF-8\"
$ locale | grep TIME
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
The former results in proper behavior, like translations, time format
(LC_TIME) and sorting (LC_COLLATE) -- whereas the latter does not and
falls back to C locale.
At least this is how it is on my system. I don't know, if Fedora and
Mandrake use such different versions...
I must admit I don't know much about the locale system, but on my FC2
system I get the same:
$ locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
.
.
But,
$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8
$ echo $LC_CTYPE
$ echo $LC_COLLATE
$
So the values being printed by 'locale' are not the environment
variables - is it possible they are being derived from somewhere based
on the value of $LANG?
