Failed to generate embeddings: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Bug Report

When calling embed, I get the error RuntimeError: Failed to generate embeddings: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Example Code

from gpt4all import Embed4All
text = 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'
embedder = Embed4All('nomic-embed-text-v1.5.f16.gguf',device="gpu")
output = embedder.embed(text, dimensionality=64)

RuntimeError: Failed to generate embeddings: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Steps to Reproduce

Your Environment

Windows 10, gpt4all 2.3.0. I did modify _pyllmodel.py line 12 to

from typing_extensions import Any, Callable, Generic, Iterable, TypedDict, TypeVar, overload

to be able to run it.
however, I don't think that is the problem

It looks the code change over the weekend. With the current gpt4all-2.3.0, I suffer the same RuntimeError during the docker build stage in openSUSE Tumbleweed. No such error for gpt4all-2.2.1.post1.
