[Wien] errors @ wien2k_21.1 compilation

[Laurence Marks]

See
https://www.google.com/search?q=locale%3A+Cannot+set+LC_CTYPE+to+default+locale%3A+No+such+file+or+directory

1) If it is a cluster, ask the sys_admin
2) Reinstall/update your OS
3) Check your .bashrc and similar
4) Post to one of those lists. I know enough to know this is a problem, but
not enough to solve the issue. This is certainly not the right list for
help on this, it is an OS problem.
