After many (too many) attempts, I finally managed to get SketchUp working under openSuse linux — using the linux wine app (Windows program loader / translation layer).   Now I can make my woodworking plans without booting Windows.  I think I last had it running when I was using Ubuntu — and, perhaps, on a previous computer.   It’s been a while.

PS — Almost as soon as I posted this, SketchUp stopped working. Argh! An update to wine appeared to defeat my fix. After some head scratching (and much cursing) I was again able to celebrate — quietly — at 2 AM.
