Comments on The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 15 i686 (GNOME)
The Perfect Desktop - Fedora 15 i686 (GNOME) This tutorial shows how you can set up a Fedora 15 desktop (GNOME) that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

I'm running Fedora 15 x86_64. Picasa3 would not run, and I was seeing
the following when I started Picasa (from a terminal window):
[user@puter user]picasa &
/usr/bin/picasa: line 189: 14526 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper check_dir.exe.so
/usr/bin/picasa: line 248: 14642 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$PIC_BINDIR"/wrapper set_lang.exe.so
I found this solution via Google searches, in different places, so I have combined the fixes into one:
Install the full version of wine:
sudo yum -y install wine
[sudo] password for user:
[install takes a while]
Then do the following:
[user@puter user]$ cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/lib/wine/
[user@puter wine]$ sudo mv wininet.dll.so _wininet.dll.so
[sudo] password for user:
[user@puter wine]$ sudo cp /usr/lib/wine/wininet.dll.so /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/lib/wine/
[user@puter wine]$ cd ../../bin/
[user@puter bin]$ sudo mv wine-preloader _wine-preloader
[user@puter bin]$ sudo cp /usr/bin/wine-preloader /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin/
Picasa3 is now working for me, I hope this works for others.
Excellent! Works beautifully.
(noted that the second arg to each of the cp's could have been .)
Thanks johann
