Bug reference: 1716
Logged by: steve owen
Email address: steve(at)keymarksystems(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 7.4.8
Operating system: RHEL4
Description: FATAL: XX000: failed to initialize lc_messages to ""
Details:

I found this referenced under bug #1344: locale problem

The problem appears to be in going from Linux 2.6.9-5.0.5 to 2.6.9-11 the
default LANG environment variable changed
from LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to LANG=english_us.8859. Error could be identified by
typing locale at the opsys prompt.
I fixed by adding to posgres .bash_profile:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANG

hopes this helps someone else
