How to fix warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8)

  

   I recently encountered a problem when logging through SSH in to certain servers that I use for work when using my new Macbook Pro (running Lion 10.9.2).

   So right after the login was completed I was getting the following message:

   warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (UTF-8)

   It only happened on certain servers, for others everything would work just fine.

   This caused a few problems when running some perl scripts that would complain about the locale variables not being set, even though my Terminal app was setup correctly.

  To fix this I simply added the following to my ~/.bash_profile:

  export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

 Let me know if that helped you by leaving a comment below!
