Uhm... wine... this will not work because of the way they
are using
parts of the linux kernel.

If started by a linux program (e.g. linux bash in
/compat/linux/ from a
wrapper script), it should first find the one installed in
the linux
compat tree first.

Probably because there's no src on the package build
cluster...

Not without major work in the kernel, at least when you want
to use the
linux wine.

Now... what about forgetting about the linux wine which
comes with
picasa? Try to use the FreeBSD wine.

At this point we've strayed off-topic, since the original
poster's questions have been answered.  We're now in the
realm of
advocacy.

I figure there's got to be a Google product manager who's
getting
weekly reports showing download statistics for Windows,
Macintosh, and Linux offerings.  If they're using those to
gauge
interest--and allocate development resources accordingly, I
don't
see how this helps our cause.

In all fairness, I have to give Google credit for trying to
make
the best of a bad situation.  I think we can help send the
right
message to the "bean counters" by resolving PR
ports/108864 (so
FreeBSD users will contribute to the Google Earth numbers
again).
