Hmmm. I'm getting the same messages too. I bought my RedHat 5.0 from
Canada but I guess that will not make a diff, but AFAIK RH5.0 uses glibc
and they claimed that it has "much better locale support". Oh well :)

In any case, I can get the japanese-patched less, jvim and others to work.
kterm fires up even though these messages are displayed.  The only thing
now that I can't fire up is kinput2. Which I'm sorta giving up now.
Sticking with Wnn4 and mule :)

Anybody has RH5 and didn't have the locale problem above?
