Catastrophic error: could not set locale "" to allow processing of multibyte cha

[Sharbel]

I am trying to install parallel feap 84 in my allocation in a supercomputer operating on Linux.
When I am in the last step, running the command "make install" I get the following message:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home1/*****/********/Feap/ver84/unix' 
make[2]: Entering directory `/home1/*****/********/Feap/ver84/unix'

The compiler and/or environment is faulty.

Try setting the LANG environment variable:

Code: [Select]

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

One other comment.  You really should upgrade to version 8.6 or you will run into issues with PETSc versions, picky compilers, etc.
