This is usually due to a glibc (or other library) incompatibility. There are 
some libraries shipped with google-earth (which are placed in the google-earth 
install directory) which conflict with different versions of the same 
libraries installed on the machine. Removing/renaming the offending libraries 
in the google-earth install directory (so that it uses the installed system 
libs instead) usually fixes the issue. There are instructions for this on the 
google-earth support page (in fact, I think even in the FAQ). You'll have to 
google it (ironic, really) because I didn't save the link last time I had to 
do this.

Starting google-earth from a terminal window should give you a hint, anyway.
