Picasa works on amd 64 as well!!!

 

A big, huge, monumental, thank you to the wonderful people at google who made picasa work for linux, too. I have been experimenting with picasa on my ubuntu box since yesterday. This morning, I am happy to say that Picasa works on my AMD64 box.

Here is how I did it: 1) I downloaded the self-extracting installer which says that it is for any x86 installation.

2) After the necessary chmod 755 *.bin (sorry, I never learnt the chmod a+x stuff), you simply execute the installer and it asks if it is ok to install picasa in the directory /opt/picasa. That’s fine with me.

Voila, picasa for amd64, too.

    Can you please provide me with further instructions on how to install Picasa onto my 64 bit Ubuntu. I am a fairly new user.

    thanks for the comment. I have to update the posting re:picasa and add probably more information on the many options available for online posting and editing and sharing photos etc.
