Help: Locale "C" not understood by x11-emacs & netscape3.0

Post by Patrick J. McGuinne » Sat, 01 Feb 1997 04:00:00



I have the following setup: linux 1.2.13 kernel, slackware 3.0
with ELF ... Setup one year ago, with a move to ELF in April.

For a while now, I've been getting the following problem when I attempt to
run emacs (emacs-19.29-with-X11):

Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
X protocol error: BadAtom on protocol request 18

... and it dies.

The library version I use in /usr/X11/lib is libX11.so.6.0.

Coincidentially, netscape3.01 also dies, saying:
        "locale 'C' not supported"
and then telling me I need a correct  $NLSPATH and nls dir.
*YET*, I do have such a directory, /usr/X386/lib/X11/nls,
which contains a file "C" and a file nls.dir.  
I put this dricetory there for netscape2.0, which by the way DOES work,
with no complpaints (from either side :-) ).

Other than emacs and netscape3.0, I've had no such similar problem.
Are they related?  Is there a library incompatibility issue?
libX11? or libc? - my libraries are date Dec 1995 or older;
e.g. I have libc.so.5.2.18, from Dec 13 1995.

Thanks.

Patrick

PS. Gratuitous added question ...
I have a HP Deskjet. I've hobbled together a manual process for printing
PostScript on it. Where can I find a lpr filter program to do this
automatically? If the answer is "RTFM", please point me in the right
direction. I've been looking and I can't seem to find that info.

 
 
 

1. current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to CX

  Hi,

   A bit of a newbie question I guess but I couldn't find anything
related in the mail achives. I've just installed the
/usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14 port which seemed to go
smoothly but when I try to run a simple Java program I get
this error message (below).


current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to CX locale modifiers
are not supported, using defaultException in thread "main"
java.lang.NullPointe
rException
        at javax.swing.ImageIcon.<init>(ImageIcon.java:138)
        at StadiumDesigner.createImageIcon(StadiumDesigner.java:268)
        at StadiumDesigner.addToggleButtons(StadiumDesigner.java:353)
        at StadiumDesigner.init(StadiumDesigner.java:123)
        at StadiumDesigner.main(StadiumDesigner.java:164)

     Everything else seems to work fine with X and I'm not sure how
(or what) to fix. Any help is appreciated.

     TIA

  Ken
