[SOLVED] getting dialog to display utf-8

Issue

I built dialog on fedora 11 (./configure then make), and it works great except for when I include characters with accents, umlauts, etc. For example, รณ becomes M-CM-3.

Is there something I could do to the build process or when running dialog to remedy this situation?


Solution

this should work (first "make distclean" of course):

   ./configure --with-ncursesw --enable-widec
