Hello,
I get the above message when I start an application.
But I _do_ have iso88591 in the locales file!
egrep "en_GB|en_US" ./locales.dat | grep iso88591
locale = en_US.iso88591, us_english, iso_1
locale = en_GB.iso88591, us_english, iso_1
locale = en_GB.iso885915@euro, us_english, iso15
locale = en_US.iso88591, us_english, iso_1
I have no clue what the problem is.

Please help!

Syd

Here are my notes. I hope that this helps.

=== Configuration for the United Kingdom of Great Britain ===

For traditional British locale support:

Ensure that the /etc/locale.gen configuration file contains the
following entries.

en_GB ISO-8859-1

Generate the locale support files using locale-gen:

locale-gen

Set the locale as the system default in the /etc/default/locale
configuration file:

LANG=en_GB

Regards,

Mark.
