Manual install as plain user (only curl and build-essential required) on stable
[git.ikiwiki.info.git] / doc / bugs / search_for_locale_data_in_the_installed_location.mdwn
1 It seems like gettext only searches for locale information in /usr/share/locale, by default. I installed ikiwiki into /usr/local, therefore the locale information wasn't found. This patch fixes the issue:
3     --- a/IkiWiki.pm
4     +++ b/IkiWiki.pm
5     @@ -1057,6 +1057,7 @@ sub gettext {
6                                     $gettext_obj=undef;
7                                     return shift;
8                             }
9     +                       $gettext_obj->dir("$installdir/share/locale/");
10                     }
11                     return $gettext_obj->get(shift);
12             }
