Hi all, I am using OpenSuse for about a year now, but I never got Google Earth working. Today, I decided to give it another try. I removed everything related to Google Earth, logged in as root, and installed Google Earth. Installation works fine, no problems at all. But when I tried to run it, X server crashed. Also when I logged in as user, it crashes. I couldn't get anything useful from /var/log/messages, so I tried to find something useful from the internet. The only possible solution I found was at linuxquestions.org: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/google-earth-crashes-x-... TaylorVcl recommends running the following: wget http://librarian.launchpad.net/7037027/libGL.so.1 -O libGL.so.1 at the directory /opt/googlearth/. This is where Google Earth is installed, so everything should be fine. And yes, X server doesn't crash anymore when I try to run googlearth. But I get the message located at the bottom of this mail. The log file is attached to this mail. I hope someone has any idea to fix this, because I really love this application. Thank you very much in advance!

This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal circumstances. A bug report and debugging data are now being written to this text file: /home/henk/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-C50122D3.txt This bug report will be sent to Google automatically next time you run Google Earth. Its data, which contains no personal information, will help us correct problems without bothering you further. If you would rather this info not be transmitted, please delete the above file before running the program again.
