Crash in French locale: std::runtime_error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

[Jérôme Rousselot]

After upgrading to Ubuntu 7.10 Beta, referencer does not start anymore:

Can you try another gtkmm application such as inkscape, to see if this is
referencer-specific?

Inkscape starts without any error or warning message, and I can open and
edit complex drawings.

After setting
LANG=C

referencer starts without problem. I am not especially familiar with the syntax of LANG, but I tried with:
LANG=fr_CH
LANG=fr_FR
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

and all of these combinations gave the same error:

(referencer:4390): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_box_pack_start: assertion `child->parent == NULL' failed
TagWindow::docSelectionChanged >>
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Abandon (core dumped)

[Milton Y (milton4)]

Below is the output from my system.
-----
$ locale -a

I am getting below error

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

[Mads Chr. Olesen (shiyee)]

Is this still a problem with Referencer 1.1.6?

[Mabhobs (mabhobs-deactivatedaccount)]

I experience the same problem: Crash of Referencer with the above described error. Referencer 1.1.6-1build1. Xubuntu 10.10.

This is the message that I get:

"
(referencer:3818): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
 Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(referencer:3818): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Any help is appreciated.
