Problem

You may face the following error during compilation on Linux:

ERROR: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

1 error(s)

Code preprocessing failed!

 (error code: 0)


Solution

This error appears due to the LC_ALL env variable is not set by default.

 You can run the following command from your Querix user to set the variable:

echo -e "export LANG=en_US.UTF-8\nexport LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8">>~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
