Perl warning Setting locale failed

By editor, 27 August, 2016

Question

I have following error message when installing perl package, how to resolve this probleme ?

perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = "en_GB:en", LC_ALL = (unset), LC_PAPER = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LC_ADDRESS = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LC_MONETARY = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LC_NUMERIC = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LC_TELEPHONE = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LC_IDENTIFICATION = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LC_MEASUREMENT = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LC_NAME = "fr_FR.UTF-8", LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to a fallback locale ("en_GB.UTF-8"). locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

For that, regenerate locals and setup locale settings.

Generate locals

Ex:# locale-gen en_US.UTF-8

Or :# locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8

An also you can use # localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

Setup local settings

Example:

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 dpkg-reconfigure locales

Note : The dpkg-reconfigure locales command will open a dialog under Debian for selecting the desired locale. This dialog will not appear under Ubuntu.

If you have a warning like:

update-locale: Warning: LANGUAGE (en_GB:en) is not compatible with LANG (C.UTF-8). Disabling it.

Solution : Select another language Ex : 'en_GB.UTF-8' as default system language (dpkg-reconfigure locale)

Another solution : Add to .bshrc

# Add Locales to .bashrc (nano ~/.bashrc)

export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

# Reload

source ~/.bashrc
