#35378: w3m: sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: pkutzner+macports@… | Owner: mnick@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: mountainlion | Port: w3m -----------------------------------------+---------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => mnick@… * keywords: => mountainlion Comment: Actually where it fails is: {{{ :info:build sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence }}} This is a common problem we're seeing with Mountain Lion's version of sed. It happens when sed is asked to replace characters in a file which has a strange character encoding. The solution is to tell sed to assume the C locale. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35378#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
