locale not supported/?

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en",
LC_ALL = "en",
LANG = "en"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

what the heck to I do about that?

I don't know. I get these all the time in GTK programs so I've started ignoring it.

Those are env variables. You can muck with them to match what perl expects and the noise will go away. I usually ignore them unless someone bugs me about it. Then I figure out the settings, set them and promptly forget what I did until next time.

narrowing it down i think...i type the following:


[bowzer@linuxb0y lib]$ gcc --version
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en",
LC_ALL = "en",
LANG = "en"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
2.95.2


according to the man page for locale(5), there are supposed to be settings under /usr/lib/locale (which my mandrake box doesn't adhere to.)
anyways, look what i get if i type the locale command as follows:

[bowzer@linuxb0y lib]$ locale
LANG=en
LC_CTYPE="en"
LC_NUMERIC="en"
LC_TIME="en"
LC_COLLATE="en"
LC_MONETARY="en"
LC_MESSAGES="en"
LC_ALL=en

notice that some of them aren't in brackets. Where would i change this? Something tells me this is getting closer to the solution

[scoobydope]

well, the lack of brackets didn't mean anything. I just checked with my home system that works fine... and the locale command gives me exactly the same output, yet the gcc --version command works fine.

hmmmmm
