NLSPATH

Hi all,
 
        Ok, I was in need of a rpm package checker, so one of my colleagues
in the UNIX group recommended red carpet. Well, dependencies nailed me. I
needed some lib updates. I decided to update all the glib packages, cpp, gcc
and lib packages. I have 2.2.16-22smp kernel on my linux box. I was able to
upgrade many of the packages, but at a certain point I had a dependency
issue. glibc-devel-2.2.4-18.7.0.8.i386.rpm wanted
glibc-2.2.4-18.7.0.8.i686.rpm and vise versa. I ended up doing a rpm -Uvh
--nodeps on the glibc-2.2.4-18.7.0.8.i686.rpm and then the
glibc-devel-2.2.4-18.7.0.8.i386.rpm upgraded without complaining. 
 
    My issues are as follows -
    1. I ran red-carpet in KDE and entered my configuration for it to
connect. It has been unable to connect and I cannot change the settings as
of yet. I have uninstalled that package and re-installed it, without luck. I
even looked for red*,etc for config files. Does anyone know how I can change
the connect settings? I searched the knowledge base on www.ximian.org
<http://www.ximian.org>  , however I couldn't find any related topics.. even
after searching with different combinations.
 
    2. Whenever I should man a manpage that doesn't exist, I receive this
error -
        [escollin@minion oldrpm]$ man d
        man: No such file or directory
        Failed to open the message catalog man on the path NLSPATH=<none>
 
        No manual entry for d
        [escollin@minion oldrpm]$

        I believe the NLSPATH correlates to language selection, but I have
no idea how to correct this issue. This issue is probably due to my updates,
since it worked correctly prior to them. I can still man existing man pages,
this is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would be helpful. I searched
redhat.com / ximian.org and the web (google) for a possible fix. I have not
found anything that has pointed me in the right direction, yet.
        The only message I recieved when doing these updates is 
    warning: /etc/localtime has been saved as /etc/localtime.rpmnew . I
backed up localtime to locatime.orig and mv localtime.rpmnew to localtime,
which did absolutely nothing I have noticed. I appreciate your time
 
Thanks,
Eric
