sage upgrade on MacOs, Japanese envirinment.

[Thierry Dumont]

One of my colleagues uses a Macintosh with a Japanese environment.
He cannot upgrade sage (4.6.1).Here is a transcription of what happens.
Any idea?

gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)

sage: An error occurred while installing extcode-4.6.2
Please email sage-devel http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel
explaining the problem and send the relevant part of
of /Applications/sage/install.log. Describe your computer, operating
system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/Applications/sage/spkg/build/extcode-4.6.2 and type 'make check' or
whatever is appropriate.
Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables
correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:
(cd '/Applications/sage/spkg/build/extcode-4.6.2' &&
'/Applications/sage/sage' -sh)
When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the
subshell.
make: *** [installed/extcode-4.6.2] Error 1

Je ne sais pas quoi faire...

Amities,
Kenji

I used to hit this problem myself (not with Sage, but with other
software) because of http://bugs.python.org/issue1276.

In this case I think entering

export HGENCODING="UTF-8"

from the command line might fix the problem (at least it did for me,
if I successfully mocked up the circumstances).

(Of course not everyone uses bash, so modify as appropriate.)

There is some more background on this issue in the mercurial wiki:
