On my CentOS 5.2/64 bit system, the latest Picasa 3.0 reports that the
32 bit version of openssl is not installed, when it actually is
installed.  In digging into the repackage32.sh script a bit it is
obvious that the real problem is that there is no support for CentOS/
RHEL.  Hacking in a quick Redhat stanza gets the script to run and
report that openssl.i686 is installed.  Once I disabled SElinux,
picasa ran.


# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.2 (Final)
# rpm -qa | grep openssl | sort
openssl-0.9.8b-10.el5.i686
openssl-0.9.8b-10.el5.x86_64
openssl-devel-0.9.8b-10.el5.i386
openssl-devel-0.9.8b-10.el5.x86_64

With this stanza added at line 292 of the script
    Redhat )
      install_openssl_fedora
      ;;
I get
$ picasa
Many online features of Picasa will not work
until you install a 32-bit version of OpenSSL.
If you skip this step, you can perform it later by running:
/opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin/repackage32.sh openssl

I also had to disable selinux for Picasa to run.  Do you have an
selinux rule set for Picasa?
