Hello David,

On Thu, Nov 28 2024 16:44:56 -0600, you wrote ..

This command is wrong.

This one is closer, though you need to actually specify the config file, 
not just point it to a directory it might reside in.

Why in the world would you put your Golded config file in your
Synchronet directory? You know what? Never mind. You should focus on one 
thing at a time.

LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-1 luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' gedlnx -C/path/to/
golded.conf

This probably won't work, though, see below.

If you don't know where your golded config files is, you have even 
bigger problems.

Everything above definitely means that the package 'luit' is NOT 
installed. Maybe it is not available via your package manager, or you do 
not have the proper repo enabled that this package resides in.

So with that said, forget about luit and change your command line to this:

LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-2 gedlnx -C/path/to/golded.conf

See how that works for you.

While you're at it, here is like the 4th or 5th (and final) time I'll
say that you should add these two lines to your golded.conf before you 
even try to start it:

TEARLINE @longpid @version
ORIGIN "I'm very new to all this, so please forgive me."
