Subject: Why must GUIX_LOCPATH be manually exported?
Date: Thu, 12 May 2022 11:47:00 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+3U0ZnSO3gwyVVAmcSgAHpYBmw1B_Mz=Wj8msHN_wtD88mmfQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I am seeing the following warning running Guix on a foreign distribution:
$ man man
man: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct
The errors disappear when I manually configure GUIX_LOCPATH, as
described at https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Application-Setup.html:
$ guix install glibc-locales
$ export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
Why is GUIX_LOCPATH not automatically added to the user profile
(loaded with 'source ${GUIX_PROFILE}/etc/profile')? We see with `guix
shell` that GUIX_LOCPATH is not set in the user environment:
$ guix shell glibc-locales --pure --search-paths
<no output>
If GUIX_LOCPATH cannot be automatically exported in the user profile,
I am wondering if it could be set from the manifest by the example
custom 'my-glibc-locales' from the link above.
Greg
