I installed the latest version of Google Earth on my 12.1 OpenSuse, but it does not start. Is there a trick to make it start? Thanks in advance André den Oudsten 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

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.
The reaction on starting in a terminal was: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. In the googleearth map is a file libGLU.so.1. I changed that to LibGL.so.1 and started googleearth again Now the reaction was: ./googleearth-bin: symbol lockup error: ./librender.so undefined symbol: glXGetConfig Gives this an indication how to go further?
