locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

Hi
I always get this message whenever I open a console window anywhere on my box at both normal as well as root logins.

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

Can anyone explain to me why this message come up and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks in advance for any help that comes.

grep /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc for lines that set LC_ALL. What does it say?

[apoorv_khurasia]

Is that what I pass as command?

grep --regexp=LC_ALL --file=/etc/profile

Well it just hangs and returns nothing!!!

[lakerdonald]

Search them both:

grep 'LC_ALL" /etc/profile /etc/bashrc

[apoorv_khurasia]

Nothing returned only a prompt....

I guess it's not being set there. Can you give me a few lines of context before the error message at boot?

Ya I boot noramally at init level 3 and this message appears as soon as I login. No other services fail to load up in the startup and booting process and no errors other than this appear. Sorry I don't have much info but could you tell me what does this LC_ALL do???

[lakerdonald]

AFAIK, it is the default locale used by applications using gettext().
And what I meant by "a few lines of context" was a few lines printed before the error message

Nops, this is the only message which appears. Nothing else.

Breakthrough:
While I tried tio start postgresql I got the following error:

Starting postgresql service: locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

Seems familiar
