The most likely candidate for breaking this as far as I can see is that I upgraded the glibc library to get the latest Bluefish to work. What I don't know is how to get my locale database working again.
I can't remember which distribution you use and this is sometimes handled by the setup tools. For debian, "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and then "locale-gen" often helps.
I use slackware, I don't have locale-gen.
As far as I understand it if all of the right directories are present under /usr/lib/locale there's nothing to build/generate as such. I suspect that what I've lost is a link somewhere or I have a library which doesn't know where the locales are stored.
I've found the problem, I had just upgraded the glibc libraries using the package file glibc-solibs-2.3.6-i486-2.tar. I had assumed (wrongly) that this would work with my existing locale files. What I needed to do was to upgrade the locale information as well by installing glibc-i18n-2.3.6-noarch-2.tgz.
All is well now with no errors from tin.
