Hi Mike,
   I had this same k3b problem on my Gentoo AMD64 machine. This page
helped me get through it:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml

Basically it amounted to creating a new file and getting rid of an old
one. The new file, locale.gen, is here:

mark@lightning ~ $ cat /etc/locale.gen
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
mark@lightning ~ $

read through the Gentoo page or look for somethign specific to your distro.

Hope this helps,
Mark
