Re: what to do about "error: cannot set LC ALL locale"?

Ah. Thank you for the unixy enlightenment about echo sumpin' vs just
sumpin'.

I've searched through the makefile and there is is no mention of
LC_ALL. There are mentions of locale, but nothing seemingly in
relation to en_US or anything I could identify as meaningful.. Granted
that's not a lot, but since it's nearly all greek to me, it all looks
just fine.

I did a straight ./configure ; make ; make install with no options.
Are there any known options I should be using for Mac OS X 10.2.8 that
I've overlooked?

Thanks again,

~Israel~
