orrery, $LANG, numbers format : bad numbers make orrery crash.

[Xavier Cremaschi]

Hi folks, here is my problem :

#echo $LANG
fr_FR.UTF-8

#orrery -d /usr/share/orrery/
Wrong number (1) of numbers found on line 1 of 
/usr/share/orrery//orbitalElements/mercuryElements

Ok so let's check this file, assuming bad packaging is unlikely to happen...

#cat /usr/share/orrery/orbitalElements/mercuryElements
0.38709927 0.20563593  7.00497902    252.25032350 77.45779628 48.33076593
0.00000037 0.00001906 -0.00594749 149472.67411175  0.16047689 -0.12534081
0.38709843 0.20563661  7.00559432    252.25166724 77.45771895 48.33961819
0.00000000 0.00002123 -0.00590158 149472.67486623  0.15940013 -0.12214182
0.00000000 0.00000000  0.00000000      0.00000000

But '.' (point) is a decimal delimiter in english cultural settings. We 
french use ',' (comma)

#LANG=C orrery -d /usr/share/orrery/
It works.


Does someone have an idea to avoid the overriding of $LANG on the fly 
for this specific application ? A config file to tweak ?

Best regards,
