Actually there was a problem with my machine. (!!!) IBM only included two "locales" in /usr/lib/nls/loc and orakit needs the locale En_US to function. We were also told how we were able to to get orakit to use our locale files until we get the En_US files.

So the problem was how IBM cofigured the machine they sold us, not with the Oracle tools. Received on Thu Jun 18 1992 - 11:27:19 CEST
