Description Jaak Ristioja 2006-01-23 21:36:41 UTC
dev-lang/tcl-8.4.11-r1

configure: error: threads: invalid feature name

I guess this is related to such checks in ./configure:

if test -n "`echo $ac_feature| sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]//g'`"; then

These will not work correctly with Estonian locales (et_EE), because the Estonian alphabet does not end with Z, but with Y:

abcdefghijklmnopqrs

abcdefghijklmnopqrsztuvwõäöüxy

Therefore some common English letters like tuvwxy do not fall into the range a-z. To circumvent this, one must set another locale in /etc/env.d/02locales, run "env-update" and "source /etc/profile". Using something like "LC_ALL=C emerge tcl" won't work.
