For some reason, my installation of gcc seems to be printing an "a with a carat" character in place of all %s's in its error messages, e.g.,
test.c:4: error: expected â, â, â, â or â before â token
Has anyone else seen this before? (Needless to say, it's difficult to Google for.)
(This is on Ubuntu 8.10)
Edit: The guy at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=252832 says to set LC_MESSAGES=en_US but that doesn't do anything for me.
