Comment:

Usually one launches command-line applications like geany from a terminal
window, not from Spotlight or the Finder. Running `geany` from a terminal
window works for me. If that doesn't work for you either, what is the
value of your `DISPLAY` environment variable? (You can run the `env`
command to find out.)

Ok, so the `DISPLAY` environment variable is not set. Do you have an X
server installed? Such as the xorg-server port, or the Xquartz package? If
not, you should install it. Then close the terminal window, open a new
one, and try again.

Please reply in the ticket, not by email.

what will you recommend to install?

They're the same software, so the choice is just whether you would like to
update it via MacPorts or a standalone installer.

should I use

#sudo port install xorg-server

or

#sudo port install Xquartz

Which one will you recommend?

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

Xquartz is not a port; it's a standalone package you can download from
http://xquartz.macosforge.org . Or if you prefer to install the same
software with MacPorts, you can use "sudo port install xorg-server". I
prefer installing and updating software with MacPorts so I would recommend
using xorg-server.

I installed xorg-server. It works, but it throws error on the console.
Also, I don't see the style good as compare to what I see in Linux.

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

The warnings you see in the terminal are because your `LC_CTYPE`
environment variable is set to the invalid value `UTF-8`. Valid values
would be any of the locales listed in the directory /usr/share/locale. Are
you deliberately setting `LC_CTYPE` in one of your shell startup files? If
so, try not doing that, and letting the terminal set things automatically.
(The terminal will set the `LANG` environment variable to a value that
corresponds to your selections in the Language & Region pane of System
Preferences, and `LC_CTYPE` will take on the value of `LANG` if `LC_CTYPE`
is not set.)

As for the "style", what do you mean exactly? Certainly X11 applications
won't look as nice as native OS X applications, but the way they look
should be comparable to the way they look on other operating systems that
use X11.

No, I am not aware of any LC_Type environment. I have not done anything
deliberately. Can you please suggest me the way to set the LC_CTYPE
environment correctly on my macbook?
The valid one.

In System Preferences > Language & Region, have you selected English as
the language and United States as the region?

In Terminal > Preferences > Profiles > Advanced, have you enabled the "Set
locale and environment variables on startup" checkbox and set the "Text
encoding" popup menu to "Unicode (UTF-8)"?

English as the language and India as the region.
have you enabled the "Set locale and environment variables on startup" ->
Yes.
Yes, the character encoding is UTF-8 unicode.

Comment (by ryandesign@…):

Ah, ok. Yes, OS X does not have an "en_IN.UTF-8" locale in the
/usr/share/locale directory, so the automatic locale selection won't work
for this combination of language and region. You could manually set the
`LANG` environment variable to one of the locales in /usr/share/locale,
for example:

{{{
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
}}}

Do this in your shell startup file, such as ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile,
~/.bashrc, etc.

I only have a ~/.profile file on my mac. I don't have bashrc and

Is it sufficient to set only on ~./profile?

Sure, set it in whichever shell startup file you use.

Apple cannot provide a locale file for every possible combination of
country, language, and encoding. You’re free to
[https://bugreport.apple.com file a bug] with them if you wish.

I guess, you can close this. It is good to support locale for India, I
will say.
India is the large market for computers. Also, there is a significant
contribution by India in the technology.
I am moved that Apple don't even bother for India, but I am sure that
there are many Indians, who works for great companies like Apple, Google,
and Facebook.

As I already said, locales aren’t about “supporting” every combination of
country, language, and encoding, as that would be an infeasible task. If
you look inside `/usr/share/locale`, the only English locales are for
Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the
United States — probably because those are the primary countries in which
English is a dominant language.

The [http://unicode.org/cldr/charts/supplemental/likely_subtags.html
comprehensive list] at the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository doesn’t
suggest any India/English locales either. I’m almost sure that China has
more English speakers than Ireland, but there are no `en_CN.*` locales.
And the population of Spanish speakers in the United States is almost as
great as the entire population of Spain, but there are no `es_US.*`
locales.

Did you actually get the locale to work? I’d expect that `en_GB.UTF-8`
would be closest to what you want.
