Unset LANG Variable SuSE Linux

Jeff Ohlhausen — Wed, 09 Jun 2004 07:55:50 GMT

Hi there,
I'm having problems launching the Oracle universal installer and I'm pretty sure the problem is because the LANG variable is set. Does anyone know how to unset and / or disable the variable?
I've tried:
unset LANG and unset $LANG and neither worked

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

What shell are you using?

unsetr works on the bash shell on my Linux boxes.

SHELL=/bin/tcsh

I tried again and no luck.

Why not just try forcing the LANG for the Oracle installer instead?

env LANG=C /path/to/oracle-installer

This should force a standard LANG environment for that executable.

Hi,
I think
#unsetenv LANG
will work for you.

unsetting LANG may not help. During installation, LANG must be set to C. I would also do the same for LC_ALL.

Solution may be
export LANG=C
export LC_ALL=C
