Error with gedit installation in centos

Question

I installed gedit by:

sudo yum install gedit

OUTPUT:

(process:29842): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.

(gedit:29842): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

So i installed gtk:

sudo yum install gtk2

But still getting the same error

Answer 1

This can be caused by a couple of things, either you don't have the right locales installed or they're not loaded. You can see what is loaded with

locale -a

You may see some "no such file or directory" errors, fix this with

/usr/sbin/build-locale-archive

If it still fails then try

sudo yum reinstall glibc-common

or

sudo yum install glibc-common
