Click on Download Google Earth 6
Click on 32 Bit Debian /ubuntu and click on Agree and download.
While it is downloading, install this dependency (won't be installed automagically):
Code:
apt-get install lsb-core
If you have a 64-Bit system, you also need the following:
Code:
ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32ncurses5 ia32-libs-sdl ia32-libs-gtk lib32stdc++6 linux32
Once you installed the google-earth.deb package, you need to give the executable execute permission:
Code:
chmod +x /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin
Afterwards, it still won't work, because it misses the shared libaries, so you need to add them to ldconf.
Code:
gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/googleearth.conf
And add the following content
Code:
# Google-Earth needs you
/opt/google/earth/free
Afterwards, still have to update the changed ldconfig:
alternatively you can do a
Code:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/google/earth/free"
every time
From now on you can start google-earth via:
Code:
/opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin
or from
Code:
Applications->Internet->Google Earth
