And my locale stuff seems to work fine. Do you actually have those files on your computer or did you just type them from memory and get them wrong? I do locale -a and get: C POSIX en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 also, I do locale-gen and it succeeds and I don't get any of the files you mentioned. Heres my suggestion to the original poster. I would heed the warning in the gentoo guide not to set LC_ALL. I also have a lot of other files under those directories and I would just leave them alone, but if you want to delete them, just move them so you can move them back later if it doesn't help. I think one of your problems might be that you need to set all your locale variables in 02locale. Then do "eselect env update" and relogin. Also you should have 644 permissions on these files. cat /etc/env.d/02locale 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="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" cat /etc/locale.gen en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.utf8 UTF-8
