[R-sig-Debian] gcc: error: SHLIB_LIBADD: No such file or directory

[Marius Hofert]

Dear Johannes,

thanks for helping.

I executed 'sudo locale-gen' and obtained:
Generating locales...
de_AT.UTF-8... up-to-date
de_BE.UTF-8... up-to-date
de_CH.UTF-8... up-to-date
de_DE.UTF-8... up-to-date
de_LI.UTF-8... up-to-date
de_LU.UTF-8... up-to-date
Generation complete.

I then checked /etc/default/locale and it contains:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

According to http://askubuntu.com/questions/383349/ubuntu-13-10-perl-complaining-about-setting-locale,
this should suffice (?)

Nevertheless, 'make' brings many of these '1: Setting LC_CTYPE failed,
using "C"' warnings... not sure what has to be set.

Cheers,
Marius
