RE: I get errors after gnumeric installation on IRIX6.3. How to solve them?

Have we both missed something that we should have read in the gnome-print
README???

Same here. But my setup is RedHat6.2 on a PC.

I get this also.

I liked the box that displayed the error.

Neither do I. My copy of gnome-print is 0.25

There was none on my machine there either. This, of course, would explain
why gnumeric could not find it.

You are doing better than me. I have no fontmap files on my system at all.

I can say that this will not work.  LANG is not a valid locale.
If you are in America try en_US, or for England just leave it blank. Others
will know what pair of characters belong to which locale.

Unset LC_ALL. If you were happy with the language of the help files before
then you can safely leave LC_ALL unset.

As to the fontmap problem I too would like someone to help solve it.
