Description Eric Brown 2003-05-09 01:36:35 UTC

yes it looks like there's a history of not-working openbox ebuilds.  someone
needs to fix this :)

Comment 1 Haroon Rafique 2003-05-09 09:51:43 UTC

Someone also needs to report what the error is :-). In my case, the ebuild fails with:

Comment 2 Haroon Rafique 2003-05-09 10:59:32 UTC

For now, I can get by with:

env USE="-nls" emerge openbox

which avoids the NLS issues.

Comment 3 Stuart Bouyer 2003-05-09 12:13:59 UTC

Taken from Bugzilla Bug 17753 - Openbox-2.3.0 ebuild doesn't work

Another workaround for this appears to be setting LC_ALL before building.

export LC_ALL="en_US"
emerge openbox

Works for me

Comment 4 Matt Keadle 2003-05-09 16:55:34 UTC

something going on with glibc and nls. it's doing this to blackbox and fluxbox as well and i'm not sure exactly what's up. i think they're wanting you to have LC_ALL set as a default env variable.

for the moment the only workarounds are the ones mentioned above.
