Dear Steve, I have had the same problem related SuSE 8.2. A thing that additionally can be wrong is the LC_CTYPE setting in the environment. Running a SuSE system this can be set in /etc/sysconfig/language. I am using RC_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8", but other valid values should be fine, too.
For SuSE 8.2 I am currently using the source rpm files from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/postgresql/postgresql-8.1.1/postgresql-8.1.1-1.src.rpm and the appended patches for the spec files to build the rpms.
