qbittorrent doesn't start

this is not a problem with qbittorrent it looks to be a problem with libstdc++

see this simple program gives exactly the same error for all locales other than "C" and "POSIX"

program creates a locale object with system default preference and prints the name of it

Code: [Select]

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    locale loc("");

    cout << "System locale: " << loc.name() << endl;

    return 0;
}
output of test program

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~/Desktop/c++_locale_test/bin/Debug$ locale -a
C
POSIX
it_IT
it_IT.iso88591
it_IT.iso885915@euro
it_IT@euro
tc@box:~/Desktop/c++_locale_test/bin/Debug$ echo $LANG
C
tc@box:~/Desktop/c++_locale_test/bin/Debug$ ./c\+\+_locale_test
System locale: C
tc@box:~/Desktop/c++_locale_test/bin/Debug$ export LANG=it_IT
tc@box:~/Desktop/c++_locale_test/bin/Debug$ ./c\+\+_locale_test

here is a similar problem which states in the end that libstdc++ must be compiled with --enable-clocale=gnu i think

As per my notes, it was compiled with --enable-clocale=gnu...
