I'm a bit surprised by the 'harshness' of this thread...
let me summarize it :
1 - a user fucks up his PC and asks for help
2 - we try everything to help him as much as possible
3 - it didn't work
4 - we found out his pc is not 'normal' and ask him to install what HAS to
be installed
5 - he clearly doesn't care, answers harshly, thinks it's our fault, we're
the evil guys, we should burn in hell
6 - we still answer him kindly
conclusion : someone who has to remove those locals to avoid an 8 hours
compilation should clearly spend a little 50$ to buy the cheapest PC on
earth which would probably be 100 times faster than his current one
(50$ can be earned in less time that you need to compile amsn on your
PC)... that same person should learn how to be grateful, say thanks/sorry
for bothering/whatever, that same person should learn how to talk to
people, and stop being an ass and accusing us of being the evil people
ripping apart his world.. that same person should also know that if he
doesn't use a whatever locale, it doesn't mean someone else doesn't, and
if someone else does and he's in contact with him through a messaging
program, he should not expect everything to work right away... he should
also know that when there is an X problem, he should go ask for help (not
yell) at X devels, not amsn devels (all solutions that WE provided (out of
courtesy) were related to your system being fucked up and to X server
being misconfigured, in order to give you support on avoiding to have X
crash, no solution involved playing around with amsn itself.. didn't he
notice that???)
out of luck, I must go.. but I'd like to give this thread to someone with
psychology training and I'd like to get a full analysis of the situation
and of that person who has no human behavior...
summary of the summary : get a life and be nice to others!

amsn must respect the locale I set (via LC_ALL= or LANG=). It has no
business trying to use any others. At the very least it should query
locale availability (locale -a) before trying to use them.
it's not amsn, it's tk, i repeat........ :(
"Just giving it a try" will, in my case, result in an eight-hour
compile job to try to circumvent a clear application bug.
OK, go and ask the tk people then. Nothing we can do about it I guess.
BTW, I am not sure that this is the cause of your problem, I am just
guessing... There were also some solutions on forums, try to search for
those.
