(I've been looking through all the previous posts regarding this problem; nothing seems to help.)
I have installed
GoogleEarth-5.2.1.1588-i486-1_SBo, I've gotten
libGL.so.1 and placed it in
/opt/GoogleEarth. GoogleEarth more or less starts up then crashes with the following
Code:
fubar-root-/root: googleearth
(process:17310): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2458: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function
(process:17310): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed
(process:17310): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
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

I'm kind of thinking that this all may have something to do with graphics drivers (I dunno, just seems possible). I have an ATI Radeon X300 card (yeah, older than dirt). I have tried installing the proprietary drivers from AMD:
Code:
fubar-root-/usr/local/packages: ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run
(not showing the unpacking)
==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager
==================================================
which: no XFree86 in (.:/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/GMT/bin:/opt/netCDF/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin)
Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version
default:v2:i686:lib::none:2.6.33.4-smp; make sure that the version is being
correctly set by --iscurrentdistro
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install.GKKgK7
I do not have
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, I just let the new "self-discovery" stuff work (and it seems to for everything else).
Hopeless?
