The locale must be installed on your system (I work with Debian, so 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'; don't know for RHEL)

Here are the command I used in a similar situation:

#create a latin9 database on a UTF8 cluster:
createdb litigios -E LATIN9 -T template0 -l es_ES(dot)iso885915(at)euro
psql -c "ALTER DATABASE litigios set lc_time='es_ES(dot)iso885915(at)euro'" litigios

#load the data (here a latin9 encoded pg_dump)
export PGCLIENTENCODING=LATIN9;
psql -f /path/to/dump/file litigios
