Picasa 3 on Fedora 13

Oh yeah. After few weeks of using Picasa 3.0, Picasa suddenly crash. Nvm.

Here is the workaround.

Picasa 3.0 for Fedora. Can get it here : http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/i386/picasa-3.0-current.i386.rpm

Stated there, All downloads are approximately 30 MB: Picasa software (13 MB), Wine (11 MB) and Gecko engine (6 MB).

So, I assume Gecko is the culprit.

Let's setup Gecko first.

Refer here. http://wiki.winehq.org/picasa

You need winetricks. From winetricks, pick Gecko. Then OK.
Make sure you already have cabextract. yum install cabextract.




Then,



If you behind proxy, set your proxy at /etc/wgetrc

Done.
