Well, I see
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "es_ES.UTF-8") returned es_ES.UTF-8
but don't get the decimal comma.
Could you try compiling and running this little program?
/* start program */
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <locale.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
char *ret;
if (argc != 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "Please give a language specifier\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
ret = setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, NULL);
printf("Default: LC_NUMERIC=%s\n", ret);
printf("one-point-five: %g\n", 1.5);
ret = setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, argv[1]);
printf("After setlocale: LC_NUMERIC=%s\n", ret);
printf("one-point-five: %g\n", 1.5);
return 0;
}
/* end program */
Try saving the above as point.c, and do
gcc -Wall -o point point.c
Then
./point es_ES.UTF-8
Here I get:
waverley:~$ gcc -Wall -o point point.c
waverley:~$ ./point es_ES.UTF-8
Default: LC_NUMERIC=C
one-point-five: 1.5
After setlocale: LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8
one-point-five: 1,5
If you get the same then there is a problem somewhere in gretl.
Allin.
