Hi, GoogleEarth is not running anymore.
If i start googleearth, an "Bus error" appears. Nothing more.
I am running openSUSE-10.3-64bit on a Thinkpad Z61p with fglrx-8.39.4, i had many other problems with 8.40, 8.41 and 8.42 (xv and opengl), 8.443 doesn't support my screen resolution (1920x1200) and 8.45 does not support my card (FireGL 5200, 256MB).
I had the same error (same screen resolution too. After lots of dicking around I found that the ati installer (i used it to build an rpm and then installed that rpm) sometimes puts some of the modules in a directory that is not high enough in the search path. When you get a new ati install, the libGL is usually in the wrong place for googleearth and has to be softlinked in your ~/googleearth directory in place of the one that they ship. So first erase or rename the libGL.so.1 in your google earth directory and then run this command (while sitting in your google earth dir) ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1 (And yes, that is lib, not lib64). I also had other softlinks just to get fgl_gears to work. Seems the ati installer disagrees with opensuse about where /usr/X11R6/lib and lib64 should appear in the path. hth. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
