locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

[GinaSt]

Hi there!
I am trying to make PotreeConverter work on MacOS 10.12.
I have managed to compile it (with gcc6) but when I try to run it I get the following error:

PotreeConverter -h
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Abort trap: 6

Any ideas how to fix this problem?

[m-schuetz]

I haven't encountered this error before, maybe it has something to do with using a locale to format the output, like here:

PotreeConverter/PotreeConverter/src/main.cpp

Line 270 in bfffefb

cout.imbue(std::locale(""));

which is the very first line that's executed in the main method. ^^

If that's not it, maybe check other occurences of locale. Let me know if you find something.

[GinaSt]

OK, thanks for the quick answer! I will check it and I will let you know if I have any solution.
Great job, btw! I have used Potree a lot in the past and it is great :)

[GinaSt]

So, after checking out various posts on similar issues I tried putting this in my .profile:
export LC_ALL=C; unset LANGUAGE

and now it works :)

[adren]

in my case, I could not make it work with the previous 2 commands changing both LC_ALL and LANGUAGE

I had to edit the file /etc/locale.gen
and uncomment the line

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

and finally run the command "sudo locale-gen"

EDIT: PLEASE IGNORE, THIS WAS MEANT FOR GQ.

I get

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

The exception comes from Parser.cpp

    #ifdef __linux__
        // The locale has a '_' instead of '-' on linux
        m_localeEnUS = std::locale(u8"en_US"); // <------------- This line, I am on linux
    #else
        m_localeEnUS = std::locale(u8"en-US");
    #endif //__linux__

Then I tried to compile a new simple program to check the command:

#include <locale>
int main() {
    auto m_localeEnUS = std::locale(u8"en_US");
    return 0;
}

It also throws the same exception. I do not know anything about locales but I searched a bit and I suspect that instead of "en_US", one should use one of the lines of the file /etc/locale.gen, which contains on my system:

It does not contain "en_US" but "en_US.UTF8". The following program runs without problems:

#include <locale>
int main() {
    auto m_localeEnUS = std::locale(u8"en_US.UTF8");
    return 0;
}

So maybe one should change Parser.cpp appropriately.

EDIT: PLEASE IGNORE, THIS WAS MEANT FOR GQ.

I think this issue was closed too soon, changing the locale is a workaround and not a fix.

I got the same issue when running from python:3.7-alpine but I do not have the issue when running from alpine
