svnadmin: error: cannot set the locale

Hi,

A search of the list archives has turned up a couple of previous queries
related to this - one of which was resolved on MacOSX by setting locale
correctly (in that case to en_US), the other two appear to have gone
unanswered.

I've just installed Subversion on my server (SuSE Linux 8.2), using the
packages supplied with the distro. However, when I try to run the Subversion
tools I get the following error:

svnadmin: error: cannot set the locale

local gives the following output, which looks okay to me, and I've not come
across anything else that doesn't work on this box:

LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE=en_GB
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

Is there something I need to set up to get Subversion working? I can't see
anything in the FAQs, Subversion Book or supplied docs.

TIA
