My system language is set en_AU so OO fails with unknown language. All attempts to set it to en_US or ENUS via the environment fail e.g. LINGUAS="en_US" emerge openoffice LINGUAS="01" emerge openoffice LINGUAS="ENUS" emerge openoffice also tried LANGUAGE usually I just edit the ebuild and force it to 01, but there's gotta be an easier way, and its gotta be documented with the error message so users know what to do. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge OO with a non en_US language setting 2. 3. Actual Results: ebuild fails with unknown language Expected Results: fails with an unknown language error ebuild prints error message telling user how to build using an environment variable to force en_US as a default or defaults to en_US in this case Happens on three of my systems, all set to en_AU This has been happening since the very early days
use LANGUAGE=01 works or LANGUAGE=ENUS works fine here
What is your default language? In my case it it is en_AU, which is not on OO's list so it fails, no matter what I try and set LANGUAGE to. BillK
The default language shouldn't matter, openoffice only cares for the $LANGUAGE variable
It seems I have some loacal problem. It works on one system, but not the other two. And to make matters worse Ive just lost a disk out of the raid array so it will be a while until I can get back to it thanks, BillK
