Has anyone managed to get the current Linux release of GoogleEarth running under 10.2? It crashes with a double seg error. With the export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.10 hack, It claims that it cannot find various shared libraries, which are most definitely present.

I'm running version 4.0.2735 of Jan 30, 2007. Not sure if that's the current version but it works great on my Suse 10.2. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's what I've got. Did you have to do anything "special" during the install?

I have a laptop and a desktop running 10.2. Google Earth will not run on the laptop because it says the graphics card is not capable of direct rendering. It works great on the desktop with a GeForce 7600 GS OC. This may be irrelevant to your problem.

No. The only issue that I have ever had with installing GE was with an old Compaq running Linux and it's video just wouldn't work right. I changed cards and fought that piece of crap for a couple of weeks, then got so frustrated that I put the original hardware back in it, loaded XP on it and gave it to my son-in-law. It runs Google Earth just fine in Windows but never would in Linux without crashing. It is a P3/900 box so it should have worked but it is also a &^$! old Compaq. I have a P3/900 Dell running FC6, Kernel 2.6.20 and it runs GE without a problem.

Correction: When I did the last upgrade and went from kernel 2.6.18 to 2.6.20 QT broke and Google Earth no longer works on that box. Sorry. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I've had no trouble at all getting it to work in 10.2 (32bit). I simply downloaded and installed... no hacks required. I am not running the latest kernel, but there has been at least one Kernel update that I have applied since installing 10.2. So... no solution, but at least a confirmation that the latest GoogleEarth works fine on my 10.2.

Slightly off topic, but what does Google Earth do that the Google maps with Satellite view doesn't? And where do you get Google Earth for Linux?

Google earth is a generic, open platform for GIS applications. It's not of the same category as the ESRI applications ArcView or ArcGIS, but the concept is the same. Google Earth's display is much more dynamic and responsive, since more of the work is done on your workstation (rendering, in particular). It provides much more flexible views, including 3-D terrain models and viewing angle controls (Google Maps shows only a fixed viewpoint, i.e., looking straight down). Google Maps is fixed / self-contained and not particularly extensible, though there is the ability to create simple overlays that makes map-based "mash-ups" possible. Google Earth is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

Google earth - especially the pro version - has SEVERAL more features. For example, here's a test I did a few years back plotting a GPS-enabled cellphone over a Keyhole (which Google bought and renamed "Google Earth") image. http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/kai_gps_home.jpg http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/kai_gps_home_zoom.jpg You can also do 3d modeling and super impose various items into the earth. One thing I remember liking was being able to view the world in 1822. In addition, you can setup 3d views of places or locations. This enables various spatial relations. I find it very cool that they use Qt and make it avail to *nix. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm run googleearth on OpenSUSE 10.2 lastest updates (kernel, kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.3 32 bit) with no problems. Installed with no additional work. My hardware is older PIII 866MHZ fx1500 (Nvidia) graphics card. Did you enable 3D for card. If I remember right I did it thru YaST. Not sure if my googleearth is latest.

I believe this to be the right answer - but there is still a fly in the ointment. Nvidia drivers version 1.0-9639 as available through Yast. Something odd about the rpm's aroused my suspicion. It appears that the rpm's are not clean. They contain 9639 modules and 9631 GL libs. As things stand, I will try to delete the rpm's and replace the drivers from the nvidia supplied bin package (which I used to do before the rpm's became available). That is also a bit problematic: The good old sh NVIDIA-... .run thing is failing on the "sanity check" - cc not there (Rubbish!) I'll summarize again as soon as I get a clean 9639 install.

I'll summarize again as soon as I get a clean 9639 install.
GoogleEarth problem solved - Nvidia driver install problem still open 1. From init level 3, I completely uninstalled the 9631 files, and using text mode yast, uninstalled what ever drivers were there. So at his point we were "clean". 2. Again under text mode yast I re-installed the 9639 drivers (latest release, as "seen" by yast, at least for my installation sources), and a bit more, as in 5. below. 3. I would have preferred to use the nvidia package, but I could not persuade it to believe that gcc/libc were really there where they should be. 4. Run up KDE and test googleearth. It works fine. But why? What's changed? 5. In the various target directories mostly under /usr/lib, yast had insisted on restoring 9631 libs. However, during stage 2, I extracted the files from the nvidia run package. I then did a careful comparison of each of the run package files with the installed files. Nvidia very thoughtfully includes the version number in the filename. I was quickly able to ascertain that all of the installed module files were 9639 and all the libs were 9631. It was a simple matter to copy the 9639 lib files to their correct places and manually adjust relevant symlinks. All of this still leaves open the Nvidia run file install failure - which can go to another list or another thread if anyone's interested. The integrity of the openSUSE Nvidia RPM's is an issue that should be addressed here. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread.
