    That last command assumes you have Google's repository enabled. Also, could you post
    Code:
    cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    ?
    Me neither I am totaly stumped
    here is the results

    you can just doewnload it from here : http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/ia32-libs-multiarch

    and install it with "sudo dpkg -i ia32-libs-multiarch_20090808ubuntu35_i386.deb"



    edit: the dependencies is a 32-multiarch package , which won't be see by the package manager for installation since you are running a 64 sys. You have to install it manually. After the install try to reinstall google-earth again.

    try this:
    Code:
     sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/ia32-libs-multiarch_20090808ubuntu35_i386.deb

    edit: beside being a multiarch, the package itself presents a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ic/+bug/971761

    I am running ubuntu 12.04 - 64 bit and I am able to install ia32-libs-multiarch right the way from the repositories. Maybe it's due to the ubuntu version you are using. The only think I can tell you is to try the 12.04 and always stick with the long term releases; it's the fastest way to get bug support.

    and heres the kicker and probably the issue? the PC i am trying to install it on is a laptop dual booted w win 7 and a fresh wubi install or 12.10
    I have an old busted laptop in the garage that was a fresh install of 12.04 and upgraded to 12.10 and i just installed and ran google earth flawlessly.

    well probably a developer here can guide you to a better solution , but you can always give it a try:

    command to update library "ldconfig" ("L" not "i")

    shared libraries: /usr/lib/

    good luck.

    edit: Why dont't you search for the files with the name "la32-libs" and copy them into their repective folders into the othe pc

    Code:
    sudo find / -name la32 | less
    just a hint
