Picasa on Fedora

This you can find all over the web... but for my own use, and perhaps to save others browsing the many google results -

If you get this trying to run picasa -


/usr/bin/picasa: line 189:  8381 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so
/usr/bin/picasa: line 248:  8497 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper set_lang.exe.so

Then install wine, and replace picasa's wine preloader with the one from the fedora wine install

cp /usr/bin/wine-preloader /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin/wine-preloader

And then, to allow sign-in to web albums -


cp /usr/lib/wine/wininet.dll.so /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/lib/wine/
