Hi Tom,
I'm releaved now. the problem is solved
You're right. the problem was locales not installed.
I just ran "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and install the repsectives.
btw, I'm turned into a pgsql fan.
i just posted a thread at pgsql-sql
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2007-12/index.php
thanks a lot,
iuri
