Redhat 8.0

[Kristoffer Andersson]

Hi Martin!

Don't now if this is any help to you, but this is what I did to get R9 
to work on RH8.

The problem I had with building R9 or R8B-2 on RH8 was the 
Unicode(UTF-8) stuff, or at least I think that was the problem.
After reading the RH8 release notes more careful I tried to set the LANG 
variable to C when building OTP and it worked.

eg. <vanilla build>  
    prompt> ./configure
    prompt> env LANG=C make
    prompt> env LANG=C make install

I'm not sure that this is a good soloution (or a soloution at all) for 
the "RH8 problem", but so far it worked for me.

Regards,
/Toffe
