netfmt problem

[Rainer von Bongartz]

trying to format a net trace with netfmt I get the error :

netfmt (160) Cannot open subsystem message catalog "fmtbtlan3.cat"
Verify existence and permissions of the message catalog file.

Where should this file exist and what are the contents ???

As the installation of nettl/netfmt seems to be corrupted what package do I have to re-install ??

The .cat files are used for Internationalization. This allows HP-UX messages to be translated to various languages for people in different countries. The .cat files are located in subdirectories under /usr/lib/nls/msg.

I would start by checking the setting of your LANG environment variable. It would be best if you tell us what your LANG variable is set to. You can do this at your shell prompt by:

echo $LANG

You may want to try the following:

1. Get rid of the LANG variable. In Posix, Bourne or Korn shells, you do this by:

unset LANG

In csh, you do this by:

unsetenv LANG

Then try netfmt again.

2. Use the C LANG setting. You do this in Posix, Bourne, or Korn shells by:

export LANG=C

in csh:

setenv LANG C

Then try netfmt again.

Let us know the results of your experiments.

Thanks.

Hi Rainer,

You should have this file under /usr/lib/nls/msg/C directory. This gets installed through "Networking" product under the subproduct LAN-RUN. Gets updated with the patches.

If you don't see this file, try copying it from another system that has the same OS if your environment is already set to C locale.
