[CentOS] Google Picasa / GNOME / how to launch application?
I had installed Picasa,apparently properly, but am unable to launch the application. In the GNOME Desktop menu, Applications > Graphics > Picasa > Picasa it does not launch. Reinstalled it and the same issue. 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!

The solution was to download the latest Picasa version for Windows and run it under Wine. --dejan

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 at 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 $registry_export HKEY_USERS\\S-1-5-4\\Software\\Google\\Picasa\\Picasa2\\Preferences\\ [lanny at dell1602 ~]$
