I downloaded Google Earth and I thought I followed their directions but it did not work. I would be thankful for any help.
Same for me, i installed the new Google Earth v5 on my 11.1 64Bit OpenSUSE but it does not work. I start GE but i only see the Start Picture. Please help.
And only for interest, can someone tell me how to uninstall the Google Earth?
Greetings
It’s an incompatibility between libcrypto provided by googleearth and libssl from opensuse.
I found this solution on WTF installing googleearth breaks ssh - openSUSE Forums
If you run googleearth from command line, you will see the message “symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: undefined symbol: EVP_camellia_128_cbc”. I found the solution by googleing “EVP_camellia_128_cbc”.
You just have to delete or rename /opt/google-erath/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 (path of a standard installation) to force google to use your opensuse library. And it works. 
Enjoy…
To delete:-
There’s and uninstall executable in the google-earth directory.

Hi
Start it from the command line, you may have a lock in the .googleearth
directory. I just removed the .googleearth directory after the deletion
of the offending libcrypto file.

I have not been able to get it loaded to even try running it. How can I get it loaded?
Hi
Assuming you have downloaded it… you need to be in the directory
it’s downloaded to (note not on your Desktop! move it to your home
directory!!) and you installed in in your home directory.
sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
rm google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8

I am still new to openSUSE. I got it to load but I do get the error message. How do I get in GoogleEarth to delete and enter the replacement code?

It is from home/ralph/bin/googleearth
Hi
Did you install the actual google earth program in your home directory
as well? It should be called google-earth, the file to remove is in
there.

Weird, so what error do you get? It works fine on my 64bit system?

I spoke too soon. When I deleated libcryto.so.0.9.8 it worked once but when I tried the second time it did not work. It flashed on then off. What next?

Hi
Ouch!! I’m not really sure what that error may be caused by, if you
have desktop effects can you disable and try again? Else I would look
at sending the error report to google and see what they have to say.
