SEE REASON FOR EDITING. I re-read the README and made the symlink. Whammo! Fixed.
Ok, so I just read about an island that doesn't exist on BBC and decided to check it out myself. I installed GoogleEarth on 14.0 x86. I read the README, nothing there to fix my problem. When I try to run GE, I get:
Code:
bash: /opt/GoogleEarth/googleearth-bin: No such file or directory
But when I look in there, I get this:
Code:
ls -l /opt/GoogleEarth/

Now, I don't think I'm crazy and I do see said missing file above. Anyone have a fix on this? I also tried running /opt/GoogleEarth/googleearth and googleearth-bin directly and get the same error.
edit: Interesting update. So, when I run ldd on googleearth-bin I'm missing a library. Here's the relevant output:
Code:
ldd /opt/GoogleEarth/googleearth-bin
linux-gate.so.1 (0xffffe000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7712000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0xb770d000)
libgoogleearth_free.so => not found
libQtCore.so.4 => /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 (0xb7422000)
Where do we get googleearth_free? Nevermind, it's in the /opt/GoogleEarth dir. For some reason, GE isn't finding it though.

Reason: I'm a moron who can't follow written directions.
And when I try to launch GE with the command "googleeart-bin", I get this error :
Code:
jbeziat@localhost:~$ googleearth-bin
googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgoogleearth_free.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
