Thread: Mandrake Question

I have recently put Linux Mandrake 8.2 on my laptop and everytime i run perl or gcc it tells me that my locale settings are not supported

Here is the output of the "locale" command

Code:

LANG=en_GB
LC_CTYPE=en_GB
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB
LC_TIME=en_GB
LC_COLLATE=en_GB
LC_MONETARY=en_GB
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB
LC_PAPER="en_GB"
LC_NAME="en_GB"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB"
LC_ALL=

can anyone help?

gcc works fine for me and I have a similar list except that my language is:

"en_US"

...but than again I've never tried perl on gcc yet.

No it comes up on pretty much on every compiler or programmy thing I use.

I think there's something wrong with my locale settings.

Are you sure it doesn't say there's problems with your local settings, not locale?
