Here's why googleEarth won't install on Fedora 14

I got googleEarth ..
wget http://dl.google.com/earth/clHere's ...EarthLinux.bin

Following instructions on page 5 of
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfec...-14-i686-gnome

it abends when you try to install it - here's why
/tmp/ge/setup.sh - line 278 and subsequent - read as follows Note "we can do Fedora later"

Code:



# This is a gross hack for 6.0.  Try to ensure LSB runtime is present in

# the absence of a real packaging system with real dependencies.  This solves

# this "only" for Debian/Ubuntu, but that's believed to be the majority right

# now and we can do Fedora later.

if [ ! -f /etc/lsb-release ]; then

  echo "This version of Google Earth requires LSB 4.0 support which you"

  echo "do not seem to have."

  if [ -f /etc/debian_version]; then

    echo "You have a Debian system.  Installing LSB now."

    try_run -absolute /bin/su root -c "apt-get install lsb"

  else

    try_run -absolute /bin/su "yum install redhat-lsb"

  fi

fi

Just thot I'd share

But you can install lsb yourself. It is available from fedora and probably works from yum.

yes - I have LSB installed - when I ask yum to install redhat-lsb it says "already installed - nothing to do"

smoker - thanks
i followed the link to csufresno and that one installs
