Hi all,

dev build from yesterday (17 July 2006) starts but crashes as soon as anything is drawn on the canvas. to be precise it crashes when I stop drawing the first object. In the terminal I got these messages:

(inkscape-bin:25499): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Emergency save activated! Emergency save completed. Inkscape will close now. If you can reproduce this crash, please file a bug at www.inkscape.org with a detailed description of the steps leading to the crash, so we can fix it.

the first part: --- (inkscape-bin:25499): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. --- is written when Inkscape starts. The rest is written when Inkscape crashes.

It seems to be a locale problem. I use Mac OS X is English and this is the output of "locale" --- jiho@...993...:Applications$ locale LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL="C" ---

If this is not simple and does not come from my system I'll fill a bug report. Regarding locales I used a small app which removes unused languages from the system BUT this should only remove .lproj files and it should have kept at least English and French. I'll be curious to see the output of locale on a different 10.4.7 system. For testing purposes, I posted the build on modevia even if it is not working. I'll remove it afterwards.

NB: I removed .inkscape and .inkscape-etc to be sure it was not a configuration issue and the crash is still there.
