Make sure you're using the latest version of the slink xlib6g package. The version number is 3.3.2.3a-11. For a while the locale and NLS data got caught in limbo, but that problem was solved months ago. My /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias file has the following lines (among many others): pt pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_BR pt_BR.ISO8859-1 pt_PT pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.88591 pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.88591.en pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.iso88591 pt_PT.ISO8859-1 pt_PT.ISO_8859-1 pt_PT.ISO8859-1 portuguese_brazil.8859 pt_BR.ISO8859-1 portuguese.iso88591 pt_PT.ISO8859-1 locale.alias is not a conffile, so yours should have these exact same lines. If you don't, or if the file doesn't exist, that may explain the problem. Reinstall xlib6g. -- G.
