Error while running tpp

[indiajoe]

I have installed latest ncurses-ruby-1.3.0 Ruby version i already had was ruby 1.9.1p431 (2011-02-18 revision 30908) [i486-linux] After installing tpp, while trying out an example $ tpp tpp-r1.3.1/examples/bold.tpp I get the following errors

/usr/local/bin/tpp:78:in ===': invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 (ArgumentError) from /usr/local/bin/tpp:78:inblock in get_pages' from /usr/local/bin/tpp:75:in each_line' from /usr/local/bin/tpp:75:inget_pages' from /usr/local/bin/tpp:1370:in run' from /usr/local/bin/tpp:1762:in

'

And it also makes the terminal go weird. It wouldn't show anything you type in terminal after that.

Thanks to the comments and env LANG=C LC_ALL=C tpp examples/shell.tpp works well for me.
