Segmentation Fault Fedora 14 x86 32 Bit

[jjs@jjs 32]$ which picasa

[jjs@jjs 32]$ picasa
/usr/bin/picasa: line 189: 13868 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

/usr/bin/picasa: line 248: 13977 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Also, I had to remove SeLinux to get this far.

Confirming. Fedora 14, SELinux was disabled, Picasa dumps core.

I don't know shotwell :^(

but let's fix it.

1. remove the picasa for linux beta 3 or whatever
2. download the windows binary picasa38-setup.exe
3. install/update to current wine for your distro
4. from cl in directory where picasa38-setup.exe exists:
wine ./picasa38-setup.exe
this will install picasa:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe

5. to run from cl:
wine "~/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe"

I found on Fedora 14 that I had to run

wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe

But then it worked like a champ. Thanks. I thought I had tried that.

Shotwell is a pretty cool aplication that manages photos; however, it is
not anywhere as good as Picasa. I followed the directions and am now
running Picasa through wine.

Thank you very much,

This,
wine "~/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe"
should have been,
wine "~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe"
which is the same as,
wine "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Google/Picasa3/Picasa3.exe"

There seems to be a simple fix for the problem. I learned the solution
in the Fedora Forum from a user with a x86_64 system with the same
problems.

After upgrading to Fedora 14 a upgraded version of wine-preloader is
installed in /usr/bin/ and an older one in /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/
bin/

Open a terminal and copy just this upgraded wine-preloader into /opt/
google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin/ as below

su
cp /usr/bin/wine-preloader /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin/wine-
preloader
exit

This does the job and no more need to install Wine and picasa38-
setup.exe

It works on all systems (4) like a charm!

Thanks curano, this worked perfectly for me as well (FC14 x86_64).
When I downloaded wine
I downloaded the wine.i686 as others had suggested - conventional
wisdom was to stay
away from 64 bit wine.
