<!-- FIXME: the xlib example will became obsolete real soon -->
<para>Some packages beyond LFS may also lack support for your chosen locale. One
example is the X library (part of the X Window System), which outputs the
following error message:</para>
following error message if the locale does not exactly match one of the character
map names in its internal files:</para>
<screen><computeroutput>Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C</computeroutput></screen>
<para>Here Xlib expects that the character map will be listed in uppercase
notation with canonical dashes. For instance, "ISO-8859-1" rather than
"iso88591". It is sometimes possible to fix this by removing the charmap part
of the locale specification, as long as that does not change the character
map that Glibc associates with the locale. This can be checked by running
the <command>locale charmap</command> command in both locales. For example,
one would have to change "de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro" to "de_DE@euro" in order to
get this locale recognized by Xlib.</para>
<para>In several cases Xlib expects that the character map will be listed in

by running the <command>locale charmap</command> command in both locales.
For example, one would have to change "de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro" to
"de_DE@euro" in order to get this locale recognized by Xlib.</para>
<para>Other packages can also function incorrectly (but may not necessarily
display any error messages) if the locale name does not meet their expectations.
