I am trying to get picasa from google running on NetBSD/i386.  Picasa
is an image editing/organizing program for Windows.

  http://picasa.google.com/linux/

While google claims that there is a "Linux version", it's really a
bundle of wine and the picasa windows binary.  Still, I thought that
NetBSD should be able to run Linux wine code.

I will try to install native wine, and read the hints about kernel
configs.  But I thought I'd ask if anyone has tried picasa under
NetBSD.

I have a Thinkpad T30 running current from last week.

All looks plausible in ktrace until:

  5960      1 wine     CALL  execve(0x804c220,0x804c268,0xbfbfe29c)
  5960      1 wine     NAMI  "/emul/linux/emul/linux/opt/picasa/bin/../wine=
/lib\
/../bin/wine-preloader"
  5960      1 wine     NAMI  "/emul/linux/opt/picasa/bin/../wine/lib/../bin=
/win\
e-preloader"
  5960      1 wine-preloader EMUL  "svr4"
  5960      1 wine-preloader RET   execve JUSTRETURN
  5960      1 wine-preloader PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
  5960      1 wine-preloader NAMI  "wine-preloader.core"

earlier emulations were "linux".  The binary doesn't appear to be
branded as linux:

/emul/linux/opt/picasa/bin > file /emul/linux/opt/picasa/bin/../wine/lib/..=
/bin/wine-preloader
/emul/linux/opt/picasa/bin/../wine/lib/../bin/wine-preloader: ELF 32-bit LS=
B executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, stripped

I have suse 9.1 installed, and can try 100:

suse_base-9.1nb8    Linux compatibility package
suse_x11-9.1nb3     Linux compatibility package for X11 binaries
suse_compat-9.1     Linux compatibility package with old shared libraries
suse_freetype2-9.1nb1 Linux compatibility package for FreeType2 library
