I have a little amendment to getting the web album connection working with Picasa 3.0 under fedora 15 x86_64.
I recently installed fedora 15 (fresh, x86_64 this time), and ran into the same issues with getting picasa to run properly... there are two small fixes necessary easily found on Google. The second one is listed above, but Picasa was still not connecting to upload/share to the web album. By dumb luck, I was at the command line, and I had just tried typing the "sudo cp /opt/google..." as above to see if I might have done something wrong the first time, and then the very next thing that I did was to try running picasa from the command line, and I got this helpful dialog which fixed the problem: (You need the 32-bit version of OpenSSL... btw, this is the first time that I have tried to install an x86_64 version of Linux on my Atom NetTop in the past few years, and according to benchmarks, it does make some significant speed improvements in the system compared to the i386 version.) ========================================== [brad@msi-NetTop Downloads]$ picasa Many online features of Picasa will not work until you install a 32-bit version of OpenSSL. If you skip this step, you can perform it later by running: /opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin/repackage32.sh openssl For additional assistance, please visit: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux Would you like to install 32-bit OpenSSL now?
