Dropbox not installing

Hi all,

I am using the 64 bit version of Arch Linux which I love but I can't seem to get dropbox installed. I used yaourt nautilus-dropbox to installed dropbox but when I try to run it i get:

gordy@linuxbox ~]$ dropbox start
Starting Dropbox...Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__main__dropbox__.py", line 18, in <module>
  File "arch/__init__.py", line 19, in <module>

  File "locale.py", line 514, in getpreferredencoding
  File "locale.py", line 478, in setlocale
Error: unsupported locale setting

The Dropbox daemon is not installed!
Run with -i to install the daemon

I then run dropbox start -i a gui box comes up to download the daemon which downloads it and unpacks it but it don't install.
Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Gordy.

Ps I am new to Arch linux

your error message wrote:

just a guess, but is your locale set up properly?
