maxima pukes on non-ascii filenames (terrible evil bug! - caused by clisp?) #2841
Comments
comment:1
Note that this was previously reported (and fixed, at least for me) as #276. Perhaps the bug reporter has LANG set to an encoding that does not handle that particular file name; or perhaps LANG is not set, and en_US.UTF-8 does not work on that machine (or at least, that file name is not a valid UTF-8 string). |

Well, this is actually likely to be a clisp issue, so hopefully once we switch to ecls this issue will be gone regardless if this is actually an env issue or not. Cheers, Michael |

Is this still an issue, given the comment above and #276, and the recent fix of ECL to not scan the filesystem (did that ever cause this problem? Changing to minor with no complaints like this in two years. |

Suggesting that we might make a change to sage-env if this isn't a problem anymore.
But Sage isn't anywhere near as much mainly a US program now, and hopefully this problem isn't possible anymore? I did create a folder called "Steuerfälle" on my computer and that didn't cause problems, and LANG=en_US.UTF-8 still (even when I open a new terminal window). So perhaps we should revert #276 - or at least close this ticket! |

Replying to @qed777:
Hilarious! Just goes to show that Sage is too big for any one person to know all about it - or at least to remember all tickets.
No - this should be pointed out as fixed elsewhere and the ticket closed, imho. If you agree, then I would say just put a note to that effect on that thread. |
