[solved] mmg from mkvtoolnix doesn't work

Question

Hi guys
I just wanted to use mmg to make a mkv video file, but starting it from terminal, it only shows the following
% locale
LANG=de_DE.utf8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.utf8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.utf8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.utf8"
LC_ALL=
% mmg
Fehler: Die Sprachumgebung konnte nicht erfolgreich gesetzt werden. Bitte überprüfen Sie die Umgebungsvariablen LANG, LC_ALL und LC_MESSAGES.
For the non german guys here:
% locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=
% mmg
Error: The locale could not be set properly. Check the LANG, LC_ALL and LC_MESSAGES environment variables.
Do you guys have the same error messages? I just want to be sure, that it's not my fault, before I post a bug report.
Here I found, that this was already fixed at a much earlier version of mkvtoolnix, so I really have no idea, what's best to do. I recompiled it, didn't change a thing.
Thanks for your help :-)

Ok, solved! I created a testuser and it worked for this user. So I removed all unneeded config files from my home directory and now it works again. Don't know what exactly caused this, but well, everything's fine again :-)
