tlug: Kinput2, canna, kterm and locales

["Andrew S. Howell" <andy@example.com>]

I'm trying to get Kinput2, canna, kterm to work under RH 5.0, but I'm
not meeting with much success. I think part of the problem is I don't
have Japanese locales installed, but I'm not sure where to get them...

I can start up canna and kinput2 ok, but when I fire up kterm, I get:

kterm
locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
Warning: Actions not found: begin-conversion
Couldn't set locale:
ja_JP.eucJP,ja_JP.ujis,ja_JP.EUC,japanese.euc,Japanese-EUC,ja,japan
Warning: Actions not found: begin-conversion
Warning: Actions not found: begin-conversion

This is with LANG set to ja_JP.eucJP. If it is set to C, then I dont
get the "locale not supported by C library". I'm guessing that the
glibc supports locales, but I missing the Japanese ones. I'm running
glibc-2.0.7-4. ( soon to be glibc-2.0.7-5 )

As for Kterm, its:
kterm: version 6.2.0
options: [KTERM_MBCS] [KTERM_MBCC] [KTERM_KANJIMODE] [KTERM_XIM]
         [KTERM_KINPUT2] [KTERM_COLOR] [KTERM_NOTEK] [STATUSLINE]
[KEEPALIVE]

What about X's support of locales? I seem to remember that this was
how locales were supported in the past, that libc used X's locale
support...

Thanks for your help.
