Perhaps a true 64 bit of Google Earth is available!
From what I saw looking at Google Earth this morning, there appears to really be a pure 64 bit version available!
At least when I ran ldd on the various binaries, the versions listed were 64 bit. (This was from google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm without fixing LD_LIBRARY_PATH) Code:
me@mymachine:/tmp/icantbelieveitsnotbutter/opt/google/earth/free$ file googleearth-bin |
Not to do the same to your thread, but this is relevant lol :p:

That used to be the case.
I've gotten that RPM to work on my 14.0 non-multilib 64 bit system by symlinking /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 to /lib64/ld-2.15.so. It runs well, but with at least one missing feature: Clicking on a "there's a photo here" icon on the map generates a "[0523/014728:ERROR:nss_ocsp.cc(581)] No URLRequestContext for OCSP handler." message to stdout as well as not displaying the photo in question. |
I have found exactly the same thing using the .deb on 64 bit Debian. I do have the 32 bit libraries present but running ldd on Google Earth shows that the 64 bit libraries are now being used. I can't see the photo's either though, which is annoying.
Not relevant to it being used on Slackware but the .deb still insists that ia32-libs is installed which is odd to say the least. |
It works for me on 64bit Slack without multilib, but same here, no photos. :(

Just to expand on this, running:
Code:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/google-earth/" ldd /opt/google-earth/googleearth-bin https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=67354 Does mean that the following are then found: Code:
libgoogleearth_free.so => not found |
I did a rpm2txz and installed Google Earth 7.1, but it dies with a "No such file or directory". I don't see any missing libraries with ldd (did the whole /opt/google/earth/free directory, and strace doesn't point to anything either. I did the LSB lib symlink thing too, so what else do I need to do to get it going?

Which file or directory is it saying doesn't exist (not that I've much experience using GE on Slackware)?

I'm either getting totally brain-dead or there's something seriously amiss with Google-Earth (from google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm made into a Slackware package with rpm2tgz).
Given: Code:
whence -v google-earth Code:
ls -l /usr/bin/google-earth OK, so Code:
cd /opt/google/earth/free So, let's see if we can run that damn thing directly: Code:
cd /opt/google/earth/free Sitting in Code:
/opt/google/earth/free So, log out, log back in and export the paths (just in case, who knows?): Code:
cd /opt/google/earth/free Code:
fubar-trona-/opt/google/earth/free: googleearth-bin Just in case it's looking for a library Code:
ls -l /lib64/ld-2.15.so Any hope? |
No, really...
Code:
ln -s /lib64/ld-2.15.so /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 Make the symlink and try again. |
Thanks... but, the symlink shown previously? Kinda backwards -- I looked to see if /lib64/ld-2.15.so was there, it was, so... I didn't actually look for /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 (said I was getting brain-dead). It need to be
Code:
ln -s /lib64/ld-2.15.so /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 Code:
google-earth Pretty slow (for a 64K system with 8G available on Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7600 @ 3.06GHz, but, what the heck, the thing seems to work (been a looonnngggg time since I've seen this bad boy). Now I'll go remove all the symlinks I made with this: Code:
cat fixit Thanks for boot in the right direction. |

Sorry about that; I'll go edit the incorrect messages so I don't lead others down wrong alleys. |
Because I'm running something sorta current, the link was actually supposed to be "ln -s /lib64/ld-2.17.so /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3", not 2.15. So now it works, but it's slow, the pictures don't work, the max texture size is still 4k, and I get the same runtime errors. I'm sure it will get better, because any worse would be unusable.

The lack of photos is apparently fixed by something in this thread. After skimming the thread, I think that I can live without the photos. If I *really* want to see them, I'll launch a 32 bit virtual machine and look at them there.
