I found this solution to be very helpful:

in short, if you are not on a 64 bit machine, try this:
$ cd /usr/lib/googleearth/
$ sudo wget http://librarian.launchpad.net/7037027/libGL.so.1 -O libGL.so.1

vr - thanks! Downloading and installing the library fixed the "hangs at splash screen" problem for me (although on my computer the googleearth stuff is in /opt/google-earth, so I downloaded the library to that directory).

Still does not work for me....

I have a HP6510b, intel driver...
Compiz works perfectly...

What can it be?
