Setting locale failed

It seems as though I don't have any locale set. I'm quite new to all of this and don't really get it.

$ unp
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
    LANGUAGE = (unset),
    LC_ALL = (unset),
    LC_COLLATE = "C",
    LANG = "en_US.utf8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

rc.conf:

LOCALE="en_US.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
USEDIRECTISA="no"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm"
KEYMAP="us"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=(tg3 iwl3945 snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss snd-hwdep snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-hda-intel soundcore)

Re: Setting locale failed

Any ideas?

EDIT: Sorry, I had forgotten to run locale-gen. Works now.

Re: Setting locale failed

I'm having the same trouble with the locales message but locale-gen isn't fixing the problem any other suggestions I looked in /etc/rc.conf everything looks alright. Where do I go next?

*edit thanks I found the problem in /etc/rc.conf all fixed now.*

Re: Setting locale failed

...so you need to edit /etc/locale.gen (sample file) *and then* run locale-gen. I think I'm first to mention this here.
