Cannot change install directory

[JL2210]

Use of uninitialized value $Text::WrapI18N::charmap in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.1/Text/WrapI18N.pm line 137. Use of uninitialized value $Text::WrapI18N::charmap in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.1/Text/WrapI18N.pm line 155. Can't exec "/usr/bin/locale": No such file or directory at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.26.1/Text/WrapI18N.pm line 134. I cannot change the install directory. When I try to build, this error shows. How do I change it to /usr/local so locale runs correctly?

Hello, thanks for the feedback.

Could you please elaborate on how you tried to change the install directory, and which command led to the outlined error message, please?

Thanks, Mt.

I tried to change the install directory by running Build.PL with destdir=/usr/local and with --install_base /usr/local. I was running perl Build when that error came up.

Have you figured anything out about this?

Unfortunately not. Any help would be really welcome, as po4a is best maintained by its users, nowadays. Thanks in advance,

Hello,

looking again at the logs, the issue is (1) probably not related to your usage of destdir (2) coming from Text::WrapI18N and not po4a itself. The important part is Can't exec "/usr/bin/locale": No such file or directory

Text::WrapI18N fails to determine the prefered locale on your system, and as a last resort, it tries to call the /usr/bin/locale binary to determine this. Are you on Linux or Windows?

Sorry for the delay, I don't have much time to devote to po4a these years...
