Reinstalling:
picasa i386 2.7.3736-15 google

It is installed in /opt/picasa

Box is CentOS 5.5 (32 bit) fully updated.

How can I get this app to launch from the GNOME Menu, or, what file do
I need to use, and where is that file, to make an Icon for Picasa on
the GNOME Desktop?

TIA!
Lanny

I had a similar issue with Picasa on my Fedora 14 laptop. The solution
was to download the latest Picasa version for Windows and run it under
Wine.

Hi Lanny

please execute the wrapper /opt/picasa/bin/picasa in Terminal and send
the output (errors).

Dejan: Thank you for replying. I believe Google installs a small
version of Wine, with their Linux download. If I can't get this
version to work properly, I will look into installing the full version
of Wine and installing the latest Picasa version for Windows, as you
did. Lanny

Fwiw, I am running Picasa 3 beta on two CentOS 5.5 32 bit machines without known issue.* Ymmv.

B.J. I installed with yum from the google repository. Yum said it's
the latest version, but obviously it's not, if you are on 3.x... Lanny

On http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux it
looks like this is a general problem, so possibly uninstalling the
Picasa I got from the Google Repository and then installing Wine and
then installing the latest version of Picasa for M$ Windows is the way
to go.

On http://picasa.google.com/linux/faq.html#6 they show you can launch
Picasa, with the below command, but no joy with that on my box:

[lanny@dell1602 ~]$ /opt/picasa/bin/picasa
/opt/picasa/bin/picasa: line 139: 4833 Segmentation fault
"$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so
