you could be missing some variables 

	LC_ALL or LANG is not defined which causes the error

	other variables inherit their values from these two
	if it is not explicitly defined

- minimum commands to do the simple test
	locale -a
	env | egrep "LC|LANG"

you could be missing some locale.alias files in the locale
directories

-- i took things apart file by file to find the missing files
   and it's ( the missing files ) scattered about in /usr/share and
   /usr/X11R6/

-- the error about glibc is misleading ...
