have you installed picasa from AUR?
If not install the one from the AUR.
I don't even have these files:
/usr/bin/picasa
/opt/picasa/bin/repackage32.sh

How do I install from AUR?
I just ran $ pacman -S picasa

"How do I install from AUR?" -> with yaourt, aurbuild, wget+makepkg, etc.

OK, so what would the command be?
Thanks

1. yaourt -S picasa, or
2. aurbuild -s picasa, or
3. wget -c http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/picas … a/PKGBUILD && wget -c http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/picasa/picasa/LICENSE && wget -c http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/picas … sa.desktop && http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/picas … stall.html && makepkg -si
And you can find more tools to handle it.

Are you sure? It's not in the standard repo's:
picasa package not found, searching for group...
error: 'picasa': not found in sync db
I install from AUR the normal way:
download the tarball from aur
extract it somewhere (I do it in ~/builds)
cd in it
run "makepkg -s PKGBUILD"
pacman -U "the package"
Search and read the wiki! http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines
The wiki is great, please use it.

I'm skeptical that you every ran $ pacman -S picasa
First, you'd have to be root: # pacman -S picasa
Second, #pacman -Ss picasa gives no results
because picasa is not in the repos.
It is in AUR, which was noted by the previous posts on how to install (love the wiki).
It will not run on an x86_64 system however.

You're getting "No such file or directory" errors because you're running a precompiled 32 bit binary on a 64 bit machine without having all the required 32 bit libraries. Try and install every lib32 counter part to the dependencies listed on the AUR page.

I thought it was because of being 64 bit.
I was looking for that dependencies list... where is it?

picasa-beta 3.0_5744.02-3 in aur -- the package build is set up for both i686 and x86_64. Works well here. Don't shy away from it just because it says "beta." Google keeps things in beta long after the apps are installed and running well on thousands of computers. How many years was Gmail a beta?

when I tried to run the command to install the beta, it said not to run as root. I didn't think I could install without being in root. I tried aurbuild and yaourt.
Upgrades aren't working today either so I'll just wait until things are working again.
I see that 64bit is more trouble than its worth. I probably will never use anything 64 bit that will make any difference over 32bit. 32bit has less problems.

64bit, It's not a trouble at all. You just didn't install it the right way, through AUR.

OK, then what is the right way?

It's been explained above by the other forum members.

I was given many choices, Which one should I use?.
But aren't the servers down? We can't install anything now. I was't able to do an upgrade.

That which seems easier for you.

No, they haven't been down, there was an issue some days ago that has been solved and upgrades are OK now.

Was able to upgrade today by selecting another mirror.
But I still can't install Picasa on 64bit Arch. I've tried some of the above info but I must be doing something wrong, can't get any to work. I'll use F-spot instead. One day I'll figure it out.

Finally got Picasa working after running:
pacman -S lib32-qt
Thank you skottish
