The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

Hello,

I found the following mail in the mailing list archive.
I have the same problem - the log says that wwsympa cannot set the
locale to en_US. I also tried to set it to en_US.UTF-8 - this does not
work either.

This is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. /etc/sysconfig/i18n seems ok:
LANG="en_US"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

In sympa.conf I've set the supported languages to:
supported_lang          de, en_US
Adding fr to the list makes wwsympa complain about it, too.

When I access wwsympa, the dropdown box for the language only contains
german.

The sympa version is 5.0b.1.

I "wrote" a little perl script to see if setlocale works at all. This
seems to be ok:

use POSIX qw (setlocale);
my $locale = "en_US";
if ( ! setlocale(&POSIX::LC_ALL, $locale) ) {
~        print "error setting locale.\n";
}

Thanks,
Michael

|
|    LANG="en_US.iso885915"
|    SUPPORTED="en_US.iso885915:en_US:en: fr_FR@euro:fr_FR:fr"
|    SYSFONT="lat0-sun16"
|    SYSFONTACM="iso15"

| behavior because it does not use this variable...
