Well if using Slack then you shouldn't have too much trouble altering

If that was snide, it fell a bit short.
I was unable to locate a tarball at the website. Does such exist?
I USE linux, I'm not an expert. My live-in consultant, the long-time
(1965) systems programmer, doesn't deal with X or windows or even C++.
It's a moral thing :-) Accordingly, my comment: "I have always
depended upon the kindness of strangers."
Converting rpms to tgzs is iffy. Attempting to do a normal rpm -i
install invariably results in the inability to find libraries actually
included in the library paths. Installing rpms --nodeps is iffy. I've
never used any variety of debian, but deb2tgz likewise doesn't work.
I actually used the copy of wine that came with picasa 3 to run
'notepad' -- a pretty simple thing. That's the only wine success I've had.
What I really don't want to have to do is re-do all my picasa 'albums'
-- containing thousands of edited photos. Yes, I have backups. No, I
don't want to lose what I have even if I DO have backups.
I most especially do not want to go through my entire system to select
which subdirectories picasa notices/follows/ignores.
If you weren't being snide, I apologize. Never mind.
Cheers, Bev

Never try to extort more than it would cost to have you killed.

OK Folks here is the URI; http://goo.gl/4BTbL Please

jfyi, I am on opensuse 11.2 and I installed w/o the 3.0 version.
I have
no problem with crashing when initiating "Places" or any other
object
that I have tried. My install was:
wine ./picasa38-setup.exe
Let me get this straight...
I installed the newest version of wine (unused for anything as
yet)(wow, that took a long time!) and have downloaded
picasa38-setup.exe. I'm using slackware 12.1 instead of one of the
more popular distributions. I am increasingly gun-shy about
installing updates to programs NOT contained in tarballs or
slackware packages.
I'm looking for reassurance. Can you give me any?
