Setting your LCvars will work around it. I think "export LC_ALL=c" or
equals en_US will fix it. There's a way to set the system wide
environment, but I've mostly run into this on AIX and never bothered to
find the real fix for Linux. It's probably includes adding the locales I
need.

locate en_US should find where it's kept on your machine.
