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_ADDRESS="it"
LC_TELEPHONE="it"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it"
LC_ALL=According to this:

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.

thanks for reply, but what could i type?

i have tried:

Code: [Select]

$ export LANG="it_IT.UTF-8"
$ export LC_ALL="it_IT.UTF-8"
$ export LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
$ sudo getlocale.sh

but calibre still say same error.

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.
