picasa on linux cannot gmail

first of all, I don't know why Google doesn't offer picasa linux version download anymore! it's really annoying.  Good that I kept a .deb file downloaded somewhere from the past.  With picasa installed on Ubuntu 11.10, I had problems sending out pictures through my gmail!

looking at the logs, it doesn't tell you much...

It turns out on my Ubuntu11 it's got libssl1.0.0 installed, but picasa is looking for
libssl0.9.8, so just install it picasa would work again through gmail!

apt-get install libssl0.9.8

UPDATE:
on 64-bit Ubuntu 13.10 , install the 32-bit
apt-get install libssl0.9.8:i386
also install:
apt-get install lib32nss-mdns
