Hi all.

This may be common knowledge but I had to search the Google site for answers 
so it may help someone else.

After installing Google Earth v5 on 11.2 (and probably earlier versions as 
well) it may well fail to run, complaining that it cant find libstdc++.so.6. 

The problem is that the versions installed by Google Earth conflict with the 
standard system libraries. This doesn't just affect openSuSE - the same 
problems have been reported on other distros as well.

The solution is to rename libcrypto.so.0.9.8, libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1 
in the Google Earth installation directory (/opt/google-earth if installed as 
root or /home/<user>/google-earth if installed as a user). I simply added 
.orig to the end of the filenames.

Hopefully this helps someone else.
