problems with STL on FreeBSD 5.3

Hi,

Recently I installed FreeBSD 5.3 release on my machine, since I'm trying 
to port some C++ library to this OS. The problem is that I can not use 
std::locale class. Whatever locale I specify other than "C" it throws 
exception
locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

I tried en_US.ISO8859-1, en_US.UTF-8, en_US.ISO8859-15 etc. But error 
persists. So are there any resolution for this kind of problems?

Here is a small program to reproduce error:

#include <iostream>
#include <locale>
#include <stdexcept>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
   try {
     std::locale test("en_US.ISO8859-1");
   }
   catch (const std::exception& e){
     std::cout << e.what() << std::endl;
     return -1;
   }

   return 0;
}
