Hi

When I call nl_langinfo(CODESET) I get an empty string.

What should I get? The program routine is

static char *
get_encoding_from_locale(const char *ctype)
{
	char	   *save;
	char	   *sys;
	save = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL);
 fprintf(stderr, "return from setlocale %s\n", save);
	if (!save)
		return NULL;
	save = xstrdup(save);
	setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ctype);
	sys = nl_langinfo(CODESET);
 fprintf(stderr, "return from nl_langinfo strlen=%d %s\n", strlen(sys),
sys);
	sys = xstrdup(sys);
	setlocale(LC_CTYPE, save);
	free(save);
	return sys;
}


This is in postgreSQL (what else) where they determine the encoding to use
for the database. In my case set LANG=en_US but de_DE also returns an
empty string.

When I was building the rc1 code, the configure routine had not found
langinfo.h for some reason (probably because I ran configure with the GCC
3.3.5 B1 install) so this code was not compiled or used. When I ran
configure for the just released rc2 code tree it found langinfo.h and is
now trying to use this code.

The nl_langinfo routine is new with LIBC 6 beta2 so I am guessing there is
a problem somewhere...

Hi all,

I out the RC2 code build for postgreSQL v8.0 on http://hobbes.nmsu.edu

The file name is postgreSQL-8.0-rc2.zip

Have fun....

PS - does anyone have a working build of wxwidgets 2.53 around. I would
like to try porting the pgAdmin III administration front end for the
database and it requires wxwidgets 2.53 (or maybe a volunteer would leap
forth... :-)

Thanks

Lorne
