There may be a problem between glibc and locales. If you've installed
glibc-2.2, it confilicts with the locales package that ships with 7.2.
Locales were reimplemented in glibc 2.2, and weren't backward-compatible
with 2.1 (not being a C programmer, this is how I understood it), but there
wasn't a requirement in the package to install the updated locale packages.
Perl (which is used heavily during compilation) uses locales in glibc and
complains if they aren't set up right. Upgrading all the locale packages
should do the trick, if that indeed is what the problem is.
