[gentoo-user] LC_CTYPE and de_DE.utf8: Weirdness

[gentoo-user] LC_CTYPE and de_DE.utf8: Weirdness

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

Currently I am getting problems in the area of locale settings.

On my PC I set 
    echo $LC_CTYPE 
    de_DE.utf8
the settings are done here:

    /etc>sudo grep -r de_DE.utf8
    profile.env:export LC_CTYPE='de_DE.utf8'
    env.d/02locale:LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8
    csh.env:setenv LC_CTYPE 'de_DE.utf8'

I have done the same on my little embedded system following
the instruction for setting up a Gentoo system (I think...but
obviously I must have done something wrong...

Doing "locale -a" on the embedded system produces:

    Arietta G25 A:/root>locale -a
    locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
    C
    POSIX
    de_DE
    de_DE.iso88591
    de_DE.iso885915@euro
    de_DE@euro
    deutsch
    en_US
    en_US.iso88591
    en_US.utf8
    german

The message printed right after the command appears not only here, but 
at several other occasions like compiling etc...


Doing "locale -a" on my PC prints a HUGE list which contains beside
thousands of other settings this: de_DE.utf8

I have no clue, what I am missing here...for installation I used an
uptodate stage3 archive...

Any hint what I done wrong or left undone is very appreciated...
Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards,
Meino

Did you set your required locales in /etc/locale.gen?

Hi Mick,

thanks for your reply! :)

yes I did...I thought...

But I wrote 
    de_DE.utf8
instead of
    de_DE utf8

Found that just a few minutes before I read your mail...

Now it works.

Best regards,
Meino
