Well I've built vile 9.6j on our Solaris 2.6 system (which is where I
need it occasionally) and it runs OK. I'm not sure if the locales are
set up right there but there does *appear* to be an en_US.UTF-8 there.
I've forced everything to en_US.UTF-8 by using LC_ALL:-
crusade$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
On Solaris and Linux, you can see the installed locales using "locale -a".
(Not all platforms have that, but it's a good starting point). The actual
installed locales depends on the admin (as well as the system version of
course).
.... and now vile won't start at all:-
crusade$ vile
cannot setup translation from ISO8859-1 to UTF-8
Does this suggest the en_US.UTF-8 isn't properly installed or is it
something (e.g. iconv) that vile needs that isn't working? With the
locale left at its default (probably some breed of iso-8859) vile runs
OK so it's not a problem really, I don't actually *need* utf-8 on
Solaris.
Actually it would have _some_ utf-8 even without iconv, since vile's
got a lot of the logic built-in. If you configure --without-iconv,
then you'll get a reasonably workable utf-8.
