Make sure you are using the Linux bash shell. I symlinked
/usr/pkg/emul/linux/bin/bash to /bin/bash (what a sacrilege!) to avoid
editing all the scripts in the package.

I used
./picasa-2.2.2820-5.i386.bin --target /tmp/picasa --keep --nox11

to extract the files, then ran setup.sh from /tmp/picasa.

Mind you, setup.sh uses /bin/sh - replace that with the linux one (I
just used /bin/bash setup.sh).

I performs the installation in the desired place OK, but... running it
dumps core again. Setting WINEDEBUG to true and changing the first
line in the wrapper script to #!/bin/bash -xv
shows where do we have the problem -
.....
+ '[' /gate = wineserver ']'
+ exec /usr/pkg/emul/linux/root/picasa/bin/../wine/bin/wine
/usr/pkg/emul/linux/root/picasa/bin/../wine/lib/wine/license.exe.so
/gate Picasa2
[1]    7451 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./picasa
.....

So it kinda seems on it's way to run, but not quite.
