------- Additional Comments From stimming@tuhh.de 2007-05-03 10:15 ------- Eventually I found the suitable hint here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2160001&postcount=11 : For whatever reason the respective environment variable is no longer being called XLOCALEDIR but instead XLOCALELIBDIR... :-(
When setting
export XLOCALELIBDIR=/usr/lib32/X11/locale
everything works. Resolved for me. Thanks for the debugging.
