Using IIT-Kanpur locales instead

It is somewhat simpler to install the locales from the IIT-Kanpur site [34]. Download locales-in-1.0-1.i586.rpm and locales-or-1.0-1.i586.rpm (or whatever the current version of the locale RPMs is), and install as super-user, with,

  rpm -Uvh locales-in-1.0-1.i586.rpm
  rpm -Uvh locales-or-1.0-1.i586.rpm

This will install locales for both glibc and X. You can now similarly install locales for other languages from the same site. However, please note that we are planning to standardize on the Rajesh Pradhan Oriya locale, and have not as yet investigated the differences between this and the IIT-Kanpur Oriya locale.
