My favorite photo organizer/editor is Compupic.  This is an old app that 
is broken by libc 2.3.2 and higher.
I am running it by setting its environement to libc 2.3.1 and starting 
it with a little shell script.

You will need just the files from libc 2.3.1, not all of its 
subdirectories.  (About 4.5 MB)
Copy the old lib 2.3.1 files to, e.g. /lib/lib231, then run it with this 
script:

#!/bin/sh
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib/lib231:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/compupic/compupic
