Package listings does not support files with multi-byte encodings such as UTF-8. In the case of \lstinputlisting, a simple workaround is possible if a one-byte encoding exists that the file can be converted to. The package requires the e-TeX extensions under pdfTeX (in either PDF or DVI output mode).

The package is part of the oberdiek bundle.
