I got about the same bug report when I ran it from a command line.

I got about the same bug report when I ran it from a command line.

Hi
All strange, here is my install from this machine (32bit) in my home
directory. This output was exactly what I saw on the 64bit machine.

sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin

I have deleted google earth and reloaded and deleted the text that needs to be deleted. It still will not work. Is there something I need to add to replace the deleted part to make it work?

Hi
Not as far as I'm aware, I'm also using Gnome and assuming your using
KDE4?

I wonder if it's an openGL issue?

I think you'll need to wait for an update, the bug report supposedly
gets mailed to the developers so hopefully it'll be fixed soon

I am running Gnome.

I think it may be the bug in 5.0 as I got it to work one more time but never again. I downloaded version 4.3 and works but so slow as to be useless. Could that be because of th different screen resolution. Is there a problem with changing to the different resolution?

rm -rf ~/.google-earth
sudo mv /opt/google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /opt/google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8.bak

It should fix it

It appears to be an incorrect setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH in google earth's startup script (the "googleearth" file). I simply manually ran the following command:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=googleinstalldirhere:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Obviously replace 'googleinstalldirhere' with the absolute directory path for google earth. In my case, it's the following command:
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.google-earth:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

After that, googleearth ran fine for me.
