I'm going through the same thing and I managed to fix it, at least temporarily. I did "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to make sure the proper locale was chosen first. Then, I checked the /etc/environment file and changed the LANG setting there and then checked /etc/profile to see if anything was set there for LANG or LC_*, but nothing was. I then changed the environment variable with "export LANG=en_US". And that did the trick. Look for an LC_ settings too, such as LC_ALL or LC_LIBRARY. These would need changing too. I hope this helps...jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
