Bug filed: > https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=766 > > Marius Gedminas > I have already filed a bug for that problem on 2006-08-30 and no response yet https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=752 (feel free to vote for it) You can use the same hack I use for Streamtuner (feel free to look how I deal with that in SVN https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=41) This hack will make your binary one mega bigger (size of libiconv_plug.so) ... I hope that in the next release libc6 will be recompiled with 1252 support to avoid bad hack like this. I cc this to maemo-developers which is a better place to talk about that. Olivier ROLAND
