[mrtg] MRTG and RedHat 8.0

[netman]

Hi all,

I had MRTG 2.9.17 running fine on 7.3, upgraded RH to 8.0, it still ran
fine.

So I get a new P4 2ghz machine and decide to do a fresh install of RedHat
8.0 and load the newest MRTG 2.9.22-??. Now when I run mrtg I get the
following error....

This is just one line of many....

Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xa4, with no
preceding start byte) at /usr/bin/../lib/mrtg2/locales_mrtg.pm line 274.

This is just running mrtg by itself with no config. I tried using a .rpm to
install it and also the instructions where you use the .configure, make
install, make.... Here are the outputs from those operations...

As you can probably tell I em not that much of a Linux Guru, I pretty much
follow directions to get things going. I have no clue on how to fix this
problem. I get the same error whether I use the .rpm or compile it
myself....Any help would be appreciated, or a link in the right direction.
Again this is a fresh install of RedHat 8.0 on a P4 2Ghz machine with an
ASUS p4B533 motherboard and 512 meg ram....

Thanks
