Re: [Gnumed-devel] running from cvs

I am blindly guessing here but please check that the package glibc-locale is 
installed. Or any Debian packages which provide that stuff.

maybe apt-cache search locale will turn out useful. Note that I don't have 
Debian.

Configuring Locales

The Easy Way ;Install debconf (i.e. run apt-get update then apt-get install 
debconf, as root) ;Run dpkg-reconfigure locales as root

The Hard Way ;Edit /etc/locale.gen as root. If /etc/locale.gen does not exist, 
create it. An example /etc/locale.gen is below. ;Run /usr/sbin/locale-gen as 
root

A sample /etc/locale.gen

   1. This file lists locales that you wish to have built. You can find a list
   2. of valid supported locales at /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. Other
   3. combinations are possible, but may not be well tested. If you change
   4. this file, you need to rerun locale-gen.
   5.
   6. XXX GENERATED XXX
   7.
   8. NOTE!!! If you change this file by hand, and want to continue
   9. maintaining manually, remove the above line. Otherwise, use the command
  10. "dpkg-reconfigure locales" to manipulate this file. You can manually
  11. change this file without affecting the use of debconf, however, since it
  12. does read in your changes.
