[issue1071] Binary install on OS X 10.5 fails; needs .profile update

[Peter Arrenbrecht]

New submission from Peter Arrenbrecht <peter.arrenbrecht at gmail.com>:

After a fresh install on Leopard, I get

handbag:hg peo$ hg clone http://selenic.com/repo/hg up-hg
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/hg", line 18, in <module>
    mercurial.util.set_binary(fp)
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/mercurial/demandimport.py", line 74, in 
__getattribute__
    self._load()
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/mercurial/demandimport.py", line 46, in _load
    mod = _origimport(head, globals, locals)
  File "/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/mercurial/util.py", line 33, in <module>
    _encoding = locale.getlocale()[1]
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 
460, in getlocale
    return _parse_localename(localename)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/locale.py", line 
373, in _parse_localename
    raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

This was fixed by adding

export LC_ALL=en_EN.UTF-8
export LANG=en_EN.UTF-8

to ~/.profile.
