locale not supported by Xlib

[Roberto Nunnari]

Hello everybody.

I'm evaluating Ubuntu 6.06.1 for installing on our clients
(about 35 hosts). Up to now, Ubuntu is in my opinion the best
linux distribution I ever tried.

Unfortunately, I hit a problem I cannot seam to be able to solve.

I noticed the problem first while trying to install Maple 10. The
installation program dies with an error 'locale not supported by Xlib'.

So, I tried to launch gedit, and guess what? Gedit works, but in the
shell I find the same message as above (cut and paste follows).

I probably broke something while installing other software by
hand (oracle, matlab, eagle, etc..).

I tried to reinstall some locales, to change the language,
reinstall xorg, but without success.. the messages are still there.

here's some cut and paste

I hope somebody can help me out.
