Locale error running LyX

[MarcoB]

For a long time I have my locale set to en_US.UTF-8. Now LyX exits with the error:

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

Suddenly LyX seems to have a problem with my locale setting. When changing the setting to the C locale, LyX runs without problems.

Is there a way of using LyX with en_US.UTF-8?

Thanks,
Marco

Which lyx version are you using?

 

[MarcoB]

The newest, version 1.6.8
It ran until about a week ago with the same locale settings. I suspect that after a portupgrade, something that LyX uses causes this.

My uname:

FreeBSD yokozuna.lan 8.1-STABLE FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE #4: Sat Jul 24 21:21:17 CEST 2010

Weird....

I will install lyx and check
P.S.
I'm maintainer of lyx and lyx-devel ports

Well lyx works fine for me on FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE (With en_US.UTF-8 locale)
