Re: ** WML:Error: options can not be correctly parsed

Thanks a bunch Denis and Gareth! Setting LANG=C is a good and easy
workaround. Can't wait to get started.

Installing Linux and UNIX programs (especially local installations on the
university where I don't have root access) is my eternal grief - with
compilation errors, dependency traps and post-installation trouble.

Always nice to be able to bug the community with these things ;o).


Best regards,

Anders
