(SOLVED) Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
Hi,
Have any of you succeeded in installing Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
When run in a terminal it complains that libQtCore.so.4 and a few other libraries are missing. After I gathed these libs, it then complains about a missing libgthread-2.0.so.0. It exists in /usr/lib so I made a symlink to /usr/lib32/googleearth.
Now it says: /usr/lib32/googleearth/googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgthread-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
I have an idea it is because I am running 64 bit, but how do I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Martin

Re: Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
I used this command: and it worked fine
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install googleearth-package
Re: Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
Try to install: ia32-libs-gkt
Maybe it will fix your problem

Re: Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
It installed fine using the Software Center version. Runs fine in my LMDE64 install.

I installed like the other posters suggested, so I don't know why it didn't work out of the box.

Any ideas?

Google Earth appears to be running already. Please kill the
existing process, or delete /home/gene/.googleearth/instance-running-lock if this is an error.

I had exactly the same issue reported by the OP.

I did all the fixes above. But still the program opened to just a black screen (no earth map!).
I looked for a fix at the Debian forum and found one that worked for me...
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? ... th#p315318
Code: Select all
install packages=
ia32-libs-gtk
lib32nss-mdns
ia32-libs
lib32ncurses5
nvidia-glx-ia32
Took a minute or two to load google earth, but all works fine now. after using the program a little, the rendering seems to be speeding up on par with the program in Mint 10 std.
Perhaps this will work for someone else, also.
Good Luck!
Re: Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
nvidia-glx-ia32 worked for me also....Thank you for the information.
Re: (SOLVED) Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
LMDE / NVIDIA / AMD64 / GOOGLE EARTH
in the following sequence
Install nVidia Drivers:-
Package Manager:-
module-assistant
nvidia-kernel-common
Terminal:-
sudo m-a -i -t prepare
sudo m-a clean,a-i -i -t -f nvidia-kernel-source
sudo depmod -a
Package Manager:-
nvidia-glx
nvidia-glx-dev
nvidia-xconfig
xserver-xorg (maybe there already)
Terminal:-
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
sudo sh /etc/X11/Xrest
NEXT:-
Install packages needed by Google Earth, some of these may already installed.
Package Manager:-
ttf-bitstream-vera
ia32-libs-gtk
lib32nss-mdns
ia32-libs (maybe already there)
lib32ncurses5 (maybe already there)
libgl1-mesa-dri (maybe already there)
nvidia-glx-ia32
lsb-core
googleearth-package
Terminal:-
sudo make-googleearth-package --force
ls (to see the exact filename for the .deb file created)
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture googleearth_6.0.1.2032+0.6.0-1_amd64.deb
Then look in your Menu for Google Earth and use, if it all worked.

Re: (SOLVED) Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
I don't see why you are using the --force option, if the source doesn't build then forcing it to isn't going to solve it either. Your bound to strike ELF class issues but none should be bad enough to prevent it from compiling. Using the --force flag isn't good practice, nor should it be recommended, if you are familiar with the ins/outs of Debian packages (I'm a Debian maintainer) then run lintian over the created deb you'll have more errors there than you really want, as the make-google package is a dirty hack to get it working, having said that, it works but it could be better

Re: (SOLVED) Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
VK7HSE I can honestly say I haven't a clue what I'm on about so all I did was search and search and try my best to understand stuff very poorly explained and stitch bits together until I had something that when repeated always worked. As for what --force means, well I don't know I just copied it from somewhere else in the forum so I shall go and Google it now. But if you are someone who knows what he's talking about then I would be only to pleased to see your instructions on how it should be done in LMDE so as others can benefit from your knowledge.
Oh ELF, I shall look that up too
Edit, I return, could only turn up one result on --force and it was code on the debian site, gave up on ELF, some sort of Bofin Lingo.
Tried the Link to your website to see what sort of expert you were and it doesn't exist? EDIT 03/02/2011 VK7HSE's website now working

Re: (SOLVED) Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
Thanks, geneC! I was missing nvidia-glx-ia32 (I had only the 64 bit version). Works great now. Before that I had all the other 32 bit libs and while the program launched I had the black screen others had reported.
Re: (SOLVED) Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit?
Thanks also to geneC. I has installed every nvidia package known to man but this one. Once I did it removed the black screen issue.
Re: (SOLVED) Google Earth on LMDE 64 bit? & XFCE 64
Thanks again to GeneC!
Google Earth now works with Linux Mint XFCE 64-bit - on an Acer 5684 (intel T5600, nVidia 7600 Go).
The image of Earth has now returned. Nice one.
