[SOLVED] How do I download Google Sketchup (for wine) ?!?

[desconocido]

When I go to http://www.google.com/sketchup/download/
and click on "Download Google Sketchup 7"
the resulting page http://www.google.com/sketchup/download/gsu.html
just contains

Download Google SketchUp 7
Please make sure your system meets these requirements prior to downloading Google SketchUp.

From looking at the page source, I suspect it works out that I am trying to download from a system it does not support and won't let me.

Do I have to find a Windows machine for the download or is there some easier way?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

just tried clicking on the second ling you gave... it gives me the licence and a download button... choice between win and mac version... i choose mac and click download... and it comes (ubuntu 8.10 + firefox 3.0.5)

I tried changing the language to Spanish. It only offers version 6 but still behaves the same way - tells me to check the system requirements and won't let me download.

I am using the same version of Firefox as you and 8.04 Ubuntu.

Just tried deleting cookies as well. No luck

Went straight through for me as well. That's really odd. Here's the direct download link anyway. Just open up a terminal and:

cd (whatever directory you want it to d/l to)
wget http://dl.google.com/sketchup/GoogleSketchUpWEN.exe

And that should do it.

I contacted the SketchUp Help Center and they said

Thank you for your note. We've had other users report this issue, although
they were using XP rather than Linux. As a result, the problem may not
actually be related to your operating system. To troubleshoot, please
attempt to download Google SketchUp Pro 7 from the link below:

and that worked fine for me. Thanks everyone.
