install ia32-libs and try again. http://askubuntu.com/questions/35915...sion-of-ubuntu

although th epackage shouldn't be needed anymore. hmm.

Someone here at Ubuntu Forums had recently (last six months?) written up a very good post about google earth and the 32-bit/64-bit issue but I've lost the link

Found it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...2#post13147362

Download the google earth 64 bit version
open the terminal and copy this code:
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386 libx11-6:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxext6:i386 libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 libglu1-mesa:i386 libglib2.0-0:i386 libsm6:i386
cd /tmp && wget http://dl.google.com/dl/earth/client...rrent_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-earth-stable_current_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

that should work in Ubuntu 14.04 64bit

but isn't it necessary to first make a sudo apt update? I thought it's important to update the packages after getting new sources.
