So, first time I've ever messed with linux compatibility.  This is
about where I'm at:

[steve at aire ~]$ sudo rpm -i picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:

Note that I've got:

[steve at aire ~]$ pkg_info
...
linux-expat-1.95.8  Linux/i386 binary port of Expat XML-parsing library
linux-fontconfig-2.2.3_5 Linux/i386 binary of Fontconfig
linux-xorg-libs-6.8.2_5 Xorg libraries, linux binaries
linux_base-fc-4_9   Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for i386/amd64)
...
[steve at aire ~]$


Do we have a handbook page about getting linuz compatibility to actually work?

Thanks,
Steve
