Re: NLS locale problem

Thank you Denis,
   so if I just execute dar without arguments, except for the "-V" flag, it should execute correctly (I'm not performing any operation, nor using the strong encription).
But instead of obtaining the usual output I get the messages I showed previously:


a@cl ~ $ ./dar_static_2.6.5_x86_64_GNU_Linux -V
Cannot set locale category, native language support will not work
FATAL error, aborting operation
GPGME engine not available: OpenPGP

Best regards,
Andy
