drewvProblem installing google earth 6
1 Recommended AnswerI wanted to upgrade to 6. I ran the installer the same way I had for 5 and it seemed to complete successfully, but when I try to run it, I get:
exec: 50: ./googleearth-bin: not found
This is on Ubuntu 10.04. Has anyone gotten it to work ?

PeterK-I installed lsb-core on my Ubuntu Maverick 32bit machine and then re-installed Google Earth 6 and it now works:
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
sudo apt-get install lsb-core

KhaaLI also have a problem installing google earth. I think something is wrong with the packaging of the installer, here's some of my consoles output:
:~/Desktop$ ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --confirm
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Couldn't load 'setup.data/setup.xml'
The program './setup.sh' returned an error code (3)

What is the "advanced setup"?
We want a working program and not an advanced setup!
But, as usual, GoogleEarth 6 for Linux does not work.

Vincent1724I have encountered the same problem on the Ubuntu 10.10. Just like Goolgle Earth 5.2.
And even I install it through the way to install Google Earth 5.2 on Ubuntu 10.10 , it even cannot run either on desktop or in terminal.
And I thought google should have fixed it but Google hasn't. By the way, Google Earth Linux cannot support Chinese. Either Chines or English will be fine for me but there are just [][][]s. It crashes after deleted the Qtlibraries carried with GoogleEarth.
Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux OS. Google should fix these problems as quickly as possible!
