Re: locale UTF-8 error

Thank you very much.  I edited the ~/.bash_profile file and change the LC_CTYPE env variable to a valid locale and the problem was solved.

"UTF-8" isn't a locale name. A locale name would look like "es_ES.UTF-8".

Run "locale -a", which should give you a list of all available locales
on your machine.

I have no idea how you change locale on OS X. On BSD, you simply set
it in your environment via .profile/.cshrc.

Cheers
