Hi Thomas, on a second look I notice that your LC_* variables are missing the encoding part. E.g. I have LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" etc.
That assumes that locale is present on your system. E.g. on my Debian, I would run sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales An alternative to setting the env. variables is running createdb --locale=en_US.utf8, but the locale still needs to be present on your system. Let me know if that doesn't solve the problem.
