I just downloaded and installed Google Earth 7.0 beta for Linux in 64-bit rpm
package. My system: Fedora 17, 64-bit.
After installing Google Earth (GE) and redhat-lsb (64-bit, to satisfy GE
dependency), GE refused to run. The error message:
"/usr/bin/google-earth: ./googleearth-bin: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3: bad ELF
interpreter: No such file or directory"
/lib/ld-lsb.so.3 is part of the 32-bit version of redhat-lsb. (Why would anyone
link a 64-bit program to a 32-bit library, instead of linking to a 64-bit
library?) After installing the missing dependency, GE crashed at run time with
a signal 11. The message it outputs to stdout:
"Google Earth has caught signal 11.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written
to this text file:
/home/some_user/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-50bee489.txt
Please include this file if you submit a bug report to Google."
I removed the 64-bit versions of GE and redhat-lsb, and replaced them with
their 32-bit counterparts. The result was the same: GE failed to run (i.e.,
crashed successfully!)
I tried to troubleshoot the problem using different steps. I have attached the
crashlog files of several attempts to make GE work. Please fix it!
