Funny, i've just installed it on my workstation and it runs fine Are you sure the rpm is not corrupted ? running md5sum on the rpm package returns me : 9ee24b6c4fbd3afad89c96b63baca06b picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.rpm Have you the same thing ? the libfreetype.so (as well as libfreetype.so.6) is a symlink to libfreetype.so.6.3.8 in the same /opt/picassa/lib/ directory ..
