Error: Wide character in subroutine entry...
Error: Wide character in subroutine entry at ./install.cgi line 5168

I get the above error when trying to upgrade from LinksSQL 2.1.2 to 2.2

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

Since posting the above I found this on another forum:

"Solution: change your LANG environment variable to en_US (or en_GB, or whatever) and run the script again. The issue is Red Hat's bizarro default of en_XX.utf8 , which several things I've read suggest is far from working completely properly."

I'll try that later.

Yes, that worked.

It was Redhat 9's default language environment variable that was causing the problem.

export LANG=en_US

did the trick - after that the script ran through without problem.
