Description Bill Kenworthy 2004-10-14 16:02:53 UTC
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
Comment 2 Bill Kenworthy 2004-10-25 18:18:15 UTC
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.

The default language shouldn't matter, openoffice only cares for the $LANGUAGE variable
Comment 4 Bill Kenworthy 2004-10-26 15:39:19 UTC
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
