I downloaded the .rpm file from Google and am trying to install Picasa for Linux on CentOS 5. I get the below error. Is this because I'm using SELinux or because of something else? I found a small Picasa folder in /opt (24 items, 143.7 KB) but it seems to end there. Picasa is one of the programs my wife uses on Windows. TIA!

Hmmm does the package look good with a
rpm -K picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.rpm
I just installed it and it worked for me.. so my guess is that you have a bad RPM.
