Problem with C locale and glibc-2.2.3 on Linux

[Tom Williams]

I recently upgraded from glibc-2.2.2 on my RedHat
6.0-based Linux machine to glibc-2.2.3 and the
installation went smoothly.

For some reason, when I run Netscape 4.76 on XFree86
3.3.6, I get this error:

bash-2.04$ netscape   
netscape: locale `C' not supported.
        Perhaps the $XNLSPATH environment variable is
not set correctly?
Bus error
bash-2.04$ netscape --version
Netscape 4.76/U.S., 06-Oct-00; (c) 1995-2000 Netscape
Communications Corp.
bash-2.04$ 


Why am I getting the "locale 'C' not supported"
message?  

I ran the "localedef -i en_US -f ISO-8859-1 en_US"
command and that didn't seem to help.   When I issue
the "locale" command (which is part of Perl 5.6.1), it
reports "LANG=POSIX" and all of the other "LC"
variables are set to "POSIX".

I can use the "export LANG=C" command and the locale
command output reports the "LC" settings are set to
'C'.  This did not help.  I also tried "export
LANG=en_US" and that did not seem to help.

What am I missing?  I read through the
localedata/README file and I found the "localedef"
info in the FAQ, but I'm still not sure how to fix
this problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for your time.

Peace.....

Tom
