I'm pretty new to Linux but I know my way around. I've gotten Google Earth downloaded and am trying to install it. Everything is fine until I try to install it into /usr/local (or somewhere in there). The Google Earth Setup keeps telling me that I do not have write permissions on this directory.
Question: How do I change the write permissions for this folder? Or should I install the program somewhere else? The last program I installed (xMind) installed into /usr/local.
I am the only user (administrator).
Thanks for your help.
PS. I'm using Lucid Lynx 10.04.1
Also, I installed it to the default (/home/me/googleearth) and when I try to launch it it says "untrusted application launcher"
