Slackware 13 and Google Earth
 

Hi everybody,

I can`t install Google Earth under Slackware 13. I have searched the web, but i only found old installation procedures. The Google Earth slackwiki did not help much either, or maybe i did not understand it...

http://slackwiki.org/Google_Earth

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,
M

Wow! that seems like a lot of work... but i will try it and give you feedback.

Thanks!
M

Worked and ran fine for me.

You're running the 32bit or 64bit Slackware? Have you read the Google Earth abouts on the slackbuilds' page?

I am running 64 bit slackware

Did you make your system multilib yet? I'm guessing no :-)

From the SBo about the GoogleEarth:

NOTEs:
1) GoogleEarth is a 32bit application only. You need to have the 32bit
compatibliy packages installed to have this work on a 64bit system.
Otherwise you'll just see "no such file or directory" errors.
