Thansk a lot in advance, Eric The version of the kernel and GCC don't matter. The version of glibc matters (it must be greater than 2.3) and having locale data files installed matters. Have you looked in the i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/config.log file yet? If not, why not? Search in it for "C locale to use" and see what the result is.
