Tests fail with German locale

Statistical analysis from my smoker systems (linux & freebsd) --- negative theta is bad (fail report produced): **************************************************************** Regression 'env:LC_ALL' **************************************************************** Name Theta StdErr T-stat [0='const'] 1.0000 0.0000 82910373884011968.00 [1='eq_C'] -0.0000 0.0000 -1.88 [2='eq_de_DE.ISO8859-1'] -1.0000 0.0000 -62332799401636296.00 [3='eq_de_DE.UTF-8'] -1.0000 0.0000 -67696036799735200.00 R^2= 1.000, N= 45, K= 4 **************************************************************** It seems that the test suite fails for German or maybe any non-English locale.

Hello, thank you for your report. Testing requires an english locale, force LC_ALL in new version. Should pass the tests independently of your locale now. Thanks

Unfortunately I still see failures on some systems. Reason is that you're using "en_US", but there's no guarantee that such a locale exists. On a normal FreeBSD 9 or 10 system it does not exist: $ env LC_ALL=en_US perl -e1 perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LC_ALL = "en_US", LANG = (unset) are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). On FreeBSD all locale names have the encoding included: $ locale -a | grep en_US en_US.ISO8859-1 en_US.ISO8859-15 en_US.US-ASCII en_US.UTF-8 But: it's not even guaranteed that en_US.UTF-8 is installed on a Unix system. What is guaranteed is the existence of the "C" locale, which also produces English error messages.

Thank you for the feedback. In release 0.03 I stopped forcing any locale, and set the speller language for testing. This should be more system independent. Thank you. On Sun Dec 13 14:17:24 2015, SREZIC wrote: Show quoted text
