Error on GIMP GNU Image Manipulation Program

Hi,

 

The error is caused due to bug in OpenEmbedded meta layer. Due to some reason ISO8859-1 needs libc.so in addition to libc.so.6.

To get around this problem you need to create a softlink to libc.so using the command ln -s

For example: ln -s libc.so.6 libc.so

Restart the application and you will see the error is gone.
