I would think I do - I am running Debian and when I installed it, I
chose several locales - the following is the output of 'locale -a'
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.iso885915
en_US.utf8
[...]
POSIX
zh_CN
zh_CN.gb18030
zh_CN.gb2312
zh_CN.gbk
zh_CN.utf8
zh_HK
zh_HK.big5hkscs
zh_HK.utf8
zh_TW
zh_TW.big5
zh_TW.euctw
zh_TW.utf8

How do I find the error log?
