The mercurial-user list has a posting from October 2007 that blames the Mac OS X terminal application.
This really seems to be a problem with the terminal application, because if you start X11 and xterm, hg will start without the error message. In order to work with mercurial on Terminal you need to set LC_ALL and LANG in your .bashrc or .profile, like
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Thanks! Your post came up in the top 3 for my Google search and I got my Mercurial working with the Leopard Terminal soon after.
Thanks a lot. This solution worked for me.
Excellent! Works for me too!
You saved me!!! Thanks a lot!
Tks
Helped me as well! Thanks for the post! )
Thanks a bunch. It was quick fix.
Thanks,
Just in case someone has the same error message using svnmerge.py (http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py), this is how I fixed it:
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
I am not sure if the first two are needed for svnmerge.py, but the error message was the same and after adding those two I added the third one and it worked.
I had the same message with sphinx (sphinx-quickstart). Your trick works like a charme! Thanks.
Thanks a lot!
It helped me to run keepnote on my computer
Cheers
Thanks. It works like magic. I didn't know that the solution for this kind of error was so simple.
