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.
This seems like OLD info, because none of those files are in any current installation of Google Earth. How old is your GE?
Version 5.1, just downloaded yesterday. If those files are not supposed to be in the install archive, maybe there were still some old files from a previous version hanging around in /opt/google-earth. Still, from what I read on google's site I'm not the only one who got caught by it. -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
