Hello List ,

Seems you're missing to install libX11-6 (if you are on a 32bit system) or libX11-6-32bit if you're on a 64bit system.

Why don't you install the RPM with [...]? zypper in --no-r google-earth-stable_current_i386.rpm (or x86_64, whatever fits in your case) that way, you will automatically get the dependencies required. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi. Recent versions of Google Earth are broken. You have two options: 1) Search the latest known working version in Internet and install it 2) Follow the steps detailed at http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/485283-Google-Earth-7?p=2611672#po... I followed option 2 and works fine with that version 6.x and 7.1.2.2041 (the one I have installed by downloading the rpm from Google's Earth web) on 13.1. I haven't tried Factory but I think it should work anyway.

From my achive: The following procedure below works with suse 13.1 64bit on my computer. Maybe it also works on your computer with factory:

"invalid HTTP - request"

- as root google-folder harddisk

then search via YaSt libcurl

Open an xterm/or.. window and start it from there.

I find it still crashes. You'd think that between Google and openSUSE we could get a version that works properly. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
