Can't start Picasa on Opensuse 10.2

[andy]

I have successfully installed the latest rpm for Picasa on opensuse
10.2 64bit. However it will not run. I get the following:

main:/home/andrew # WINEDEBUG=1 picasa
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
wine: failed to initialize: /usr/local/lib/wine/ntdll.dll.so: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

There is no wine installed in this /usr/local/lib.
Is there any way to tell picasa to loom n the correct directory for
wine?

Thanks
Andy

There is a known incompatibility with recent versions of opensuse. The
next version of Picasa should fix this. Unfortunately, there is no
known workaround for the current release.

Thanks for the update, much appreciated. Guess I'll have to wait a bit
longer.

Is there an expected date as to when this new release should be due
out to fix this issue? because I too am having the same exact problem.
or maybe someone found a work around by this time?

Nope. Sometime this summer. It's very close, but
we keep finding things we missed.

If your error is 64-bit related this might not help you, yet picasa
does work on opensuse 10.2. If you have wine installed then try to run
it via konsole and

wine /opt/picasa...Picasa2.exe

or remove wine from your computer (picasa brings its own) and remove
the .wine from your user's home.
