Hi
Ignore the atd and lib (openSUSE uses different package name) errors , that is a post install script to run an update, I also remove any cron jobs etc…
If you go to pkgs.org, you can find an rpm of the mesa file (or a version similar to what is called for). I install it first. Then Google Earth installs ok.
With Tumbleweed I just click on the “break google earth and install it anyway” option. It works perfectly.
About mesa-libglu package: I know how to get around that.
openSUSE community provides one, that can be installed, which I mentioned in the initial description.
Including the fact that Google Earth keeps on crashing even with that mesa-libglu pkg installed.
Hi
Mesa-libglu is not needed, it is a packaging error on google, as long as libGLU1 is installed should be good to go.
Tested with both intel and nvidia (offload) gpu’s all good here on GNOME DE…

The above procedure results in a working installation of Google Earth.
I have build a dummy package of mesalibGLU, if you install it, it will only resolve the google-earth dependency error and install the openSUSE lib, which has this file as lib inside:
It installed normally about a month ago, and added the google repo. I used it then, but not recently.
Today I tested it and it didn’t start. From the terminal:
:~> google-earth-pro
Google Earth appears to be running already. Please kill the existing process, or delete /home/blimmer/.googleearth/instance-running-lock if this is an error.
:~>
however there was no google* process running, according to KDE system monitor.
FWIW, I deleted the -lock folder and GE started normally.
