Description Egmont Koblinger 2003-09-10 13:52:07 UTC 
./configure \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --sysconfdir=/etc \
        --localstatedir=/var \
        --mandir=/usr/share/man \
        --infodir=/usr/share/info
make
make DESTDIR=/some/path install

.mo files get installed under $DESTDIR/usr/lib/locale, though the
binary looks for them under /usr/share/locale, hence it always runs
in English.

I just became aware of this: it seems to be a problem with my
glib-gettextize installation. I'll check it with the People That Know(tm).

Hi,

Three or four other packages suffer from this problem, I've created
seperate bugzilla entry for them.
Do you think it's okay to set Immediate/Blocker for them, too?
Comment 3 Jaka Mocnik 2003-09-10 16:39:40 UTC 
sure - if a package is not able to do i18n properly, then it's almost
the same as if it crashed on startup!
Comment 4 Jaka Mocnik 2003-09-10 21:18:28 UTC 
fixed: it was a distribution problem caused by old glib installation.
