Let me guess.  You installed using the "redneck" language, right?  This
defines your locale as "en_RN", which is not a real locale.  The quick fix
is to do something like this (for tcsh, in your ~/.tcshrc):

setenv LANG en_US
setenv LC_CTYPE en_US
setenv LC_NUMERIC en_US
setenv LC_TIME en_US
setenv LC_COLLATE en_US
setenv LC_MONETARY en_US
setenv LC_MESSAGES en_US
setenv LC_ALL en_US

Let me know if this works!



cheers,
