I've been trying web-solutions for an hour (including trying the 32-bit Google-Earth Deb file); and all are failing miserably.
There is not a single howto on the net that actually works. You have to know something that is not in the instructions to make it work.
This sequence of cryptic steps came the closest to working, but still failed miserably:

Here's a history log of the commands that I ran, but, there were far too many dependencies for me to resolve:
$ wget
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/..._1.1.0_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i googleearth-package_1.1.0_all.deb
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ make-googleearth-package
$ sudo dpkg -i googleearth_6.0.3.2197+1.1.0-1_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt-get install libfreeimage3 lsb-core libcurl3 libsm6 libfontconfig1 libxt6 libxrender1 libxext6 libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri
(this fails, due to numerous dependencies)
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ which google-earth
=> ./google-earth
$ google-earth
=> ./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGLU.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
