I didn't pay enough attention to John reply to one of my post
concerning solaris locale. The problem bit my back recently,
and reading John's mail again I found the solution. However
I think there is something missing in the in the documentation
about this.
My Netview GUI was crashing immediately when started. I did
however set correctly the environment variables:
setenv LANG en_US.ISO8859-1
setenv LC_MESSAGES en_US.ISO8859-1
But this is not enough! I found out that the file /etc/default/init
was reading:
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-15
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-15
I modified the file to read:
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
rebooted the box, and then the GUI was not crashing anymore.
I don't understand this really, since the file /etc/default/init
doesn't mention LANG and LC_MESSAGES, which are the only 2 variables
mentionned by the Release Notes.
Many thanks again to John for this information. I had a PMR open
for 2 weeks about this, but Tivoli support was lost on this,
