[Delhommeau Frederic]

Hi

I try to change the LOCALE variable on solaris 8 (not in the init file) but
i have an error message
  $ ksh -o emacs
  $ locale
  LANG=
  LC_CTYPE="C"
  LC_NUMERIC="C"
  LC_TIME="C"
  LC_COLLATE="C"
  LC_MONETARY="C"
  LC_MESSAGES="C"
  LC_ALL=
  $ export LC_ALL=fr
  ksh: export: couldn't set locale correctly

If i try on solaris 2.6, it's work
  $ ksh -o emacs
  $ locale
  LANG=
  LC_CTYPE="C"
  LC_NUMERIC="C"
  LC_TIME="C"
  LC_COLLATE="C"
  LC_MONETARY="C"
  LC_MESSAGES="C"
  LC_ALL=
  $ export LC_ALL=fr
  $ locale
  LANG=
  LC_CTYPE="fr"
  LC_NUMERIC="fr"
  LC_TIME="fr"
  LC_COLLATE="fr"
  LC_MONETARY="fr"
  LC_MESSAGES="fr"
  LC_ALL=fr

Who have an idea ?
