ERROR: encoding LATIN9 does not match server's locale en_US

Hi all,

  Using PostgreSQL 8.3.0 I'm trying to do the following:

template1=# create database test with encoding='LATIN9';
ERROR:  encoding LATIN9 does not match server's locale en_US
DETAIL:  The server's LC_CTYPE setting requires encoding LATIN1.

  I've been looking into the documentation to fix this and the only way
I have found is to use initdb to recreate the cluster, Is there any
other option?

Thanks
