Tip of the Week: MacOS fixing the "can't set locale" message

If you see the following message when connecting into Shaheen from a Mac: /usr/bin/manpath: can’t set locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct This is most likely due to a setting in the Terminal application that should be altered: Terminal -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Advanced -> Uncheck “Set locale environment variables on startup” You will then need to restart the Terminal application.
