Hi quellen
Code: [Select]
LANG=it
LC_CTYPE="it"
LC_NUMERIC="it"
LC_TIME="it"
LC_COLLATE="it"
LC_MONETARY="it"
LC_MESSAGES="it"
LC_PAPER="it"
LC_NAME="it"

LC_TELEPHONE="it"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it"
LC_ALL=

Note that if you want to set the locale to it_IT you must also specify the .utf8

Have you generated those locales, using getlocale.tcz? The base only supports the "C" locale.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

I SOLVED:
Code: [Select]
$ export LC_ALL=C

now ebook-edit run but it's very very slow (hard disk swap continaully)

in the same computer with WindowsXP (and Calibre1.48 portable) works faster. why?

i have 128MB of RAM + a swap partition of 300MB

You need more RAM.

Hi quellen
You could try freeing up some RAM and see if that helps. Add the  nozswap  boot code to your boot loader. Switching to
a persistent  /home  and  /opt  if you have a lot of stuff in them could help too.

/home is already persistent. in /opt i haven't big things (Calibre is at /home).
while using Calibre (ebook-edit), the swap usage is max 95MB (of 300MB)

I am forced to use WindowsXP :-(

If Calibre's memory usage between platforms differs that much, you should report a bug to them.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
