How to Install Picasa of the Linux Version (CentOS-5.2).

Adobe and Google provide us with yum repositories. With the yum repository of Google, we can install Picasa easily. I've confirmed that Picasa works well on CentOS-5.2.

# yum install picasa

(CentOS-5.2)
According to http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux/browse_thread/thread/91d956e2d643cb19?hl=en, if you have trouble segmentation faults, please do as a root user

# sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0

and restart picasa by your account.

If it succeeded, you might add "sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0" into the last of /etc/sysctl.conf.
