I have made a few changes in CVS after studying the output you

I'm still sowewhat baffled by Ubuntu's handling of locales, but
maybe the changes will help.

Allin, I reinstalled Gretl from the CVS and repeated again the steps you
mentioned in your message some days ago, and run the suggested commands.
I obtained the following:

The same.
> LANG=spanish gretl
>

I obtain the error:
(gretl_x11:6261): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
and gretl appears in english.

The same error:
(gretl_x11:6270): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
and gretl working in english.
> LANGUAGE=spanish LC_ALL=spanish
This changed from what happened some days before, now I obtain gretl running
in Spanish, but the decimals are not commas.

Now the same error is displayed, but gretl appears IN SPANISH:
(gretl_x11:6292): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Gretl working in english

LANG=es_ES gretl

Using the fallback 'C' locale.
And gretl appears in English.

I can see no error when executing "gretl --english" (or gretl -e) but gretl
appears in Spanish.
Thi is corrected now, the command "gretl --english" (or gretl -e) produces
Gretl running in English, and no error message.
