• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description jose lucero 2005-04-08 19:59:44 UTC]

i was using gambas 1.0.2 with no problems after upgrading to gambas 1.0.4 gambas stopped working, the executable is there but when i call gambas from konsole i get no error message, the prompt doesnt return and gambas never opens. 
This had happened previously but i fixed it by reinstalling version 1.0.2, no i cant do that because portage only has version 1.0.4

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gambas 1.0.4
2.call gambas
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing!! no prompt, no error messages, no gambas. 

Expected Results:  
should have opened the gambas start window 

if run from outside X i do get an error message saying that it cant find X 
server, since within kde i get no message i cannot give any more help. 
However gambas works ok if i log in to kde as another user that had never used 
gambas

I discovered this bug is locale related
i have LANG="es_AR" in my .bashrc file
if i change this to "es_US" gambas starts normally, other "en" locales work even though a message about not being able to switch to the locale sometimes  appears, no  "es" locale seems to start gambas now.
I never had this problem with gambas 1.0.2

Can you try with the patch Benoit posted on the gambas list?

I compiled version 1.0.5 recently released and it worked ok (i compiled with everything in its default values (./configure make make install)
i dindnt even use the new --disable-qt-translation flag.
Gambas runs ok with the es_AR locale, and displays menus in spanish

assuming the 1.0.5 ebuild works too.
