installation probs

[Graeme Wain]

I`ve just downloaded the static .tar.gz flavour of abiword but get the following error message when trying to install-   Gdk warning ** locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C Can not set locale modifiers   I haven`t got a clue to what any of this means (I`m new to this linux world). Any ideas, anyone? I`m running SuSe 6.4.
