SVN cannot set LC_CTYPE locale

Question

I started getting the following error whenever i use SVN in my server:

svn: warning: cannot set LC_CTYPE locale
svn: warning: environment variable LC_CTYPE is UT         


        

Answer 1

Adding just one more option that worked for me on a RHEL6 system.

/etc/sysconfig/i18n contained LANG="en_US.UTF-8" but locale -a | grep -i en_us showed en_US.utf8.

After updating /etc/sysconfig/i18n to match the output of locale -a the problem was resolved.
