[gentoo-user] Picasa 2.7 Beta

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello.

Google just (?) released a new version of Picasa - 2.7 beta.
Did somebody of you manage to get this to run on Gentoo Linux?
I downloaded the RPM from <http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html>,
<http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/testing/i386/picasa-2.7.3736-7.i386.rpm>,
and unpacked it by doing:

        cd /
        rpm2cpio < /tmp/picasa-2.7.3736-7.i386.rpm | cpio -id

Now I tried to run picasa by executing:

        /opt/picasa/bin/picasa

This seems to work - somewhat... With that, I mean that Picasa
starts, but it just hangs there, see <http://picasaweb.google.ch/Fam.Skwar/Screenshots/photo#5143020740590645730>.
I cannot click on any of the buttons and the splash screen also
doesn't go away.

Anyone with more luck?

Cheers,

Alexander
