Failed to initialize lc_messages to ''

Hi,
I have problem start database. 

1) I compile postgresql 7.3.3 with parameters.

./configure --enable-nls --enable-multibyte --enable-locale

2) Then set env variables , 

export LANG=cs_CZ 

3) initdb -D /my_cz_db

Initdb returned : 

The files belonging to this database system will be owned by user
"postgres".
This user must also own the server process.

The database cluster will be initialized with locale cs_CS.
This locale setting will prevent the use of indexes for pattern matching
operations.  If that is a concern, rerun initdb with the collation order
set to "C".  For more information see the Administrator's Guide.

4)  /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /var/lib/postgres/my_cz_db

FATAL:  invalid value for option 'LC_MESSAGES': 'cs_CZ'

Thanks.

Evidently your platform doesn't have complete support for setting locale
to cs_CZ.  Try it again with a combination likeexport LANG=cs_CZ export LC_MESSAGES=C
        regards, tom lane

It seems that one of the other locale variables (LC_ALL?) still contains
values that are not accepted.  Note that initdb reports about cs_CS, which
is not what you set.
