Looks pretty screwed.

The locale files are not installed? They're part of the C lib I thought.

There are 3 main reasons for this sort of error:

1) Your PATH is stuffed (doesn't contain basic system directories)
2) The respective package containing the executable isn't installed
3) A shared lib required to run the program isn't available (sounds
strange but I think I've seen it cause this error) or the execute flag
is missing on the binary.

Some basic troubleshooting should find it quickly. Did you remove some
packages from the minimum install?
