NLS
Maybe this is your problem.
In case this is just a msg composition typo, I'll go on to describe my
setup.
3.3.1 X11R6 install doesn't deliver an nls (no past version has AFAIK), so
I've been using the nls files that came out of the Netscape pre-4.x
packages:
> ls -l nls
total 5
-r--r--r-- 1 rhh staff 3098 Oct 21 1996 C
-r--r--r-- 1 rhh staff 4 Oct 21 1996 nls.dir
I installed these off /opt/lib/X11/nls (just because I don't like to mix my
mods with package dirs), and set the XNLSPATH env var in my /etc/csh.cshrc
to point there. BTW, the dir has 755 perms.
I notice there's also a symlink in my nls dir that is a full-path symlink
to that same dir -- beats me (don't remember creating it).
