GooglEarth on 9.10 AMD64

[Keith_Beef]

I found that after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 my Google Earth has disappeared. :-(

So I downloaded a new version from Google, and tried to run the installer.


sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 5.1.3533.1731..................................... ..........................
./setup.sh: 284: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: not found
./setup.sh: 299: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk: not found
The setup program seems to have failed on amd64


Tried again as root.


sudo sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[sudo] password for xxxxx:

Fatal error, installer failed to run at all!

Any idea what's going on here?

Have you tried installing GoogleEarth through the Medibuntu repository? Just follow the directions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu to add the repository. Then you will be able to install GoogleEarth in Synaptic which is much easier than trying to install it yourself.
