Picasa under Arch64?

Surgat_ · 2009-02-25 17:26:51

Hello there,

I've been trying to set up picasa-beta package from AUR on my new Arch64 install and I can't get it to work. I installed its deps (lib32-nss and lib32-openssl) and it complaint about missing libx11, so I also installed lib32-libx11, and lib32-nvidia-utils in case it was needed to work with my nvidia card. Now it doesn't even show an error message when I launch it from CLI, it just shows the splash screen and exits. I've tried to check the libraries availability by issuing ldd32 /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/bin/wine and it doesn't complain about anything, so I don't know what can be the issue. Any ideas?

Also, if you know about another photo manager (native under linux, and without KDE/GNOME deps if possible) I can switch to I'd be glad to try it.

Thank you all.
Cheers!

Well, I can tell you it does work under Arch64 I would keep installing lib32 libraries until it starts working. I wish I could tell you exactly which of these libraries you need, but this is that I have and it works!

Good luck!

Looking at this long list of packages it seems to me that it might actually be *easier* to set up a 32bit chroot. Plus once it is set up you never have these sorts of problems anymore.

firecat53 · 2009-02-25 21:57:34

Possibly true, but I've also got a chroot that I've used for just a couple rarely used programs, and to me it's seemed much easier to use programs within your normal environment then in getting schroot (or dchroot) properly configured, making sure the networking works both places (I still have to manaually 'sudo dhcpcd wlan0' when I enter the chroot to get the network). Some people think it's 'cleaner' to setup a chroot, but to me it seems that if all the lib32 packages you need are already packaged and ready, everything's being managed in ONE place by pacman(yaourt). You also have easier access to things like usb sticks, etc without any additional configuration required.

Just my two cents! YMMV I've had picasa-beta installed long enough that I don't remember if I had to look around for any extra lib32 packages to add or if they were already installed. You can try just pacman -S lib32, which will install all the packages in the lib32 group.

Good luck!
Scott

Surgat_ · 2009-02-25 23:45:43

I agree with you, firecat. Also, most 32 bit apps that could need a chroot can also be run using these lib32 packages that I have already installed, so I don't have to bother installing them the next time.

Cheers!

ugkbunb · 2009-03-03 03:46:39

there is a binary package hosted on aurchlinux.fr (YAOURT website) repository

Surgat_ · 2009-03-03 12:06:00

I didn't know, even though I installed some lib32 packages from there. Anyway, that's picasa 2.7 and picasa 3 is already stable (although it's called picasa-beta on the AUR).

utak3r · 2009-03-14 10:35:21

I was installing picasa-beta today and I've found you just have to install bin32-wine-suse which has all the required lib32 as dependencies. After that picasa runs perfect
