Hello, I am french so since the beginning of the installation i have set LANG=fr_FR. This result in two compilation failed (for the moment :-)), the first time with the kernel (gentoo-r9), and the second time with mozilla (1.2.1-r4). In both cases, the problem is solved if i unset LANG. Hope this can help you to improve the gentoo distribution. Thanks for your job Frederic
Thanks. This is sorda a known problem, and thus its recommended not to set LANG for root, or set it to C. We may think about unsetting it in portage I guess ... Nick, what do you think, maybe add: unset LANG LC_ALL LANGUAGE to ebuild.sh ? This problem is also mentioned in bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9988
