Those apis are deprecated so that’s no longer useful. So today, were deprecating Picasa for Linux and will not be maintaining it moving forward. I assume the script was installing IE for the Google web albums integration.

You will have to click "Next" and "Accept" in a few windows:ĥ) Copy the installation into wine folder:Ħ) Done! Now just open Picasa as any other program: Now you have Picasa 3.9 installed but there is a problem if you want to login to Google to upload some pictures, so to fix it do this:Įnv WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.tmp winetricks ie6 3) Install Picasa with wine: wine ~/picasa39-setup.exe
