I had the same problem a couple of days ago, and IIRC I solved it
the following way:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 (/usr/lib/X11 is a symlink to this directory)
rm -rf locale
rm -rf locale.xlib6-old (if it exists)
reinstall xlib6g
reinstall xlib6 (gave a couple of error msgs but installed)
cd to /usr/i486-linuxlibc1/lib/X11/ and do 'rm -rf locale' (this
directory was empty on my box). Then do (in the same directory):
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale locale
This procedure got things working on my box again (most notably
Netscape and Matlab started to work OK again)
