Try to install Mesa-32bit package.
Thanks Kyrill, That got it started but then it immediately crashed with a message that there is a bug in the program (6.0 beta) and report it to Google.
So I uninstalled it and downloaded an older version (5.7?) and now that won't run because it needs_________./googleearth-bin: ./libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./libgoogleearth_lib.so)___________ and zypper doesn't know what it is.
Oh well !!! Thanks for trying. Any other solutions would be welcome from anyone.

Hi,
Maybe this could help you:
http://lizards.opensuse.org/2010/12/01/googleearth-6-0-running-in-opensu se- 11-4-factory-64bits/
Thanks Luiz for trying. Didn't help. Still crashes.

Hi, I'm the author of the post on lizard, but as I'm doing lot's of debug in factory, I've pretty all -32 equivalent of -64 lib installed on my system ( I know what a mess it is )
I'm also using the nvidia binary gfx drivers which "adjust" some of the Mesa/GL lib path and lib. And perharps just do what googleearth want.
My advice would be : go the the googleearth installed dir, and check each bin and .so with ldd to see if some are missing lib. then use yast / zypper to find which package provide this lib.
Don't forget to emulate their startup script as they change the LD path
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:${GOOGLEEARTH_DATA_PATH}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
In my case that give the following

Hi Bruno, thanks for replying.
I've done the ldd thing on one binary and several of the .os files. That brings up one very long list and many of the .so files are common to the most I have looked at. The ones I checked had several Not Found's. Must I check all of the 65 + files for that? Talk about patience and eye-strain.
You see the nvidia things ? When I install the nvidia binary, I always answer Yes when it ask for the 32bits part.
If that works for you, I will update the post on lizards
I hope so, but I am not exactly a guru and must bumble along while learning. May take some time but I will post about it. Is it google-earth or SuSE that is the problem?

I'm pretty sure the check of each binary & so are inevitable to resolve each deps. Unfortunately, I can't get free time to resolve that quickly for you. Easy to answer : googleearth is the culprit ! Why, because they simple to build a 64bits version of there software ( when a linux version is present, thing about picasa, sketchup etc ... ) Eventually, for simple user we as openSUSE, should have a premade and easy to install rpm, but that need quite effort. And most important a long term support, and also should work for the 3-4 running version of openSUSE. And certainly need kind of private obs, due to the non free license. I've found 2 pages on the openSUSE wiki, As you can see, not very refreshed. (another pb we have) Main page http://en.opensuse.org/Google_Earth How to build an rpm on the old http://old-en.opensuse.org/Google_Earth/rpm But as the obs rules specify that we can't host non free package on obs, the repo of the author doesn't contain a pre-made package. So at the end, we need a space to publish that, and check if it's legal to have it online. So a careful reading of the license is needed too. (Not the most funniest part) At your place, I would open an openFATE explaining how it could be cool for end-users to have an rpm of GoogleEarth. (if you open it, try to ping back me the link, so I can watch it) If I don't have customer's urgency during the Christmas break, I can perhaps found a bit of time to see if it can be realized. -- Bruno Friedmann (irc:tigerfoot) Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member User www.ioda.net/r/osu Blog www.ioda.net/r/blog fsfe fellowship www.fsfe.org GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 vcard : http://it.ioda-net.ch/ioda-net.vcf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
