Ferret talk - Apr 2006 - Locale not set error when trying to use C version in a rails app

I''m getting a locale not set error.  Does anyone know how I should set
my locale in my rails environment so that ferret knows what to do? 
Why isn''t this a problem in the ruby version of ferret?

Thanks,
Carl

try setting ENV[''LANG'']=''en_US.UTF-8'' in
your environment.rb. That
worked for me.

Thanks.  I tried that after an online search (before receiving your
response) and it worked.

Hi, Carl,

have you had success in ruling out this issue?

While I was fiddling around with ferret 0.9.3 while testing for 
http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark I had problems 
with the set locale on a gentoo box.

This happened to be a problem of the c-analyzer to read documents with 
special characters on my installation. The encoding was posix and I had 
to change it to de_DE or us_US to index project gutenberg files. On 
gentoo linux this was done with "locale -a" to check out the possible 
locales and after that setting one of these locales by "export LANG = 
de_DE", "export LC_ALL = de_DE" and so on. Afterwards I changed
the
locale of the whole system to Unicode by changing /etc/env.d/02locale. 
This is on gentoo, you need to check out how it is on your distro. 
ymmv...

Regards
Jan
