It requires;

/usr/lib/libGL.so.1

Just a point of clarification, Google Earth is a 32-bit application, so you need the 32-bit version of LibGL. Stan's running the 64-bit version of this library. Stan, you probably need something like Mesa-32bit installed if you have Mesa installed.

No, it's of no use copying. libGL.so.1 is included Mesa-32bit-7.2-10.1 in openSuSE 11.1. HTH, Regards, --- Masaru Nomiya mail-to: nomiya @ galaxy.dti.ne.jp "Bill! You married with Computers.

On Yast2, search by "Mesa", then it will show "Mesa-32bit" (now it's version is 7.2.10.1). Google Earth requires this "Mesa-32bit" package.

I must seem very dense. In what sense is "Mesa-32bit-7.2-10.1" included in openSuSE 11.1? If it is a file, it is not present in my system. If it is a package, YaST doesn't seem to know about it. What or where is it?

Do you not have an accelerated 3D graphics card or chipset and the required driver for it? If not and you're forced to use Mesa, you're not going to find Google Earth or any other 3D program very much fun to run because 3D rendering will be done on the system's main CPU, not on the graphics card's specialized rendering processors and that is far slower and eats into CPU cycles available to the application that needs to supply the 3D data to be rendered.
