[opensuse] Status of Google Earth
I was watching some tennis matches and wanted to refresh my image of some of the countries, particularly around the Aegean. When I was in school, most of these were loaded into a region labeled "behind the iron curtain". I looked on line and can do not see any repos with Google Earth in it. I see links for Fedora and others. Can somebody explain Google Earth. I tried to RTFM an was not successful.

http://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/desktop.html It may be in a Google repo somewhere as well but I haven't seen it. You download from that page, then chmod 700 GoogleEarthLinux.bin ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin There are some pre-requsites to chase because it is a bin. libSM.so.6 (which I have installed, seems not to work). I have had it working on Linux in the past. I haven't tried the non-pro version yet. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Apparently Pro is not available yet. but you can download the regular edition from here: http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html or wget https://dl.google.com/dl/earth/client/current/google-earth-stable_current_x8... And that does seem to run on 13.2 -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
