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 http://www.magazines-magazine.com/

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.

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

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

Reinstalling: picasa i386 2.7.3736-15 google
<snip> 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 "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so /opt/picasa/bin/picasa: line 175: 4928 Segmentation fault "$PIC_BINDIR/wrapper" regedit /E $registry_export HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Google\Picasa\Picasa2\Preferences\ [lanny@dell1602 ~]$
