I uninstalled it, downloaded the latest version and reinstalled, still no joy...

It's good to know that it is not just me having problems.

Just download it from Google.com. That version seems to work. I am using the 64bit version.

Hope this helps!

Re: Google Earth

Not sure why its not working. I have been using it without issue.

Re: Google Earth

The error I get is:

Code:

teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$ /opt/google/earth/free/google-earth %f
/opt/google/earth/free/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found

googleearth-bin is most certainly present and it has it's executable bit set.

Re: Google Earth

Yes it's weird, I have another partition with 11.04 32-bit and there Google Earth works fine.
I've even copied the /opt directory tree to this 11.10 64-bit and get the same error.
So there must be some library that's not found in the expected path.
And it worked untill 1 or 2 weeks ago...

Re: Google Earth

Thanks for letting me know about the new version. I removed the one I had and downloaded the latest. I installed it simply by clicking on the deb package and letting the installer do the work rather than use apt-get. This new version (6.1.0.5001) is also working for me and the listing of the files in the directory are shown in the graphic.

For those who are having trouble with Google Earth, I am wondering what the output is when the console is used to launch it by entering

Code:

~>google-earth

Yet googleearth-bin is clearly present (in /opt/google/earth/free/) and marked as executable...

I checked my system and found google-earth in /usr/bin and it points to googleearth in /opt/google/earth/free as shown in the graphic below. I hope you can resolve what is happening on your system.

Re: Google Earth

Code:

which google-earth

will tell you the path

Code:

ls -la /usr/bin/google-earth

will tell you where the symlink points (this assume the first command gave you /usr/bin/). My google-earth actually points to /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth. There is also a googleearth-bin marked as executable in this same directory.

Code:

locate googleearth-bin

Will tell you where googleearth-bin is (note, you may need to use this command first):

Code:

sudo updatedb

**NoWorries** · Nov 03, 2011, 10:21 PM

Re: Google Earth

On my system I get the following from the commands you suggest:

Code:

~:~$ ls -la /usr/bin/google-earth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2011-10-17 21:43 /usr/bin/google-earth -> /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth
~:~$ locate googleearth-bin
/opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin

What I think is of more relevance is the Launcher Menu command used to start Google Earth. This is shown below in the graphic. As you can see, it is starting the google-earth shell script in the /opt/google/earth/free directory. I am wondering if your Launcher Menu is using the same command to start Google Earth.

Re: Google Earth

All is as described.

Code:

teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$ locate googleearth-bin
/opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin
teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$ which google-earth
/usr/bin/google-earth
teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$ ls -la /usr/bin/google-earth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2011-05-17 09:46 /usr/bin/google-earth -> /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth
teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$ sudo updatedb                                                                  
[sudo] password for teunis:                                                                      
teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$ ls -la /usr/bin/google-earth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2011-05-17 09:46 /usr/bin/google-earth -> /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth                                
teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$

The link in the Launcher is also:

Code:

/opt/google/earth/free/google-earth %f

Running it in the konsole results in:

Code:

teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$ /opt/google/earth/free/google-earth %f
/opt/google/earth/free/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found
teunis@TECRA-S5-64b:~$

**jeremy1701** · Nov 04, 2011, 09:24 AM

Re: Google Earth

But you have a googleearth-bin file in /opt/google/earth/free/ that's executable? Strange. What's the permissions on that?

Code:

ls -la /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin

edit, let's just look at everything in that directory

Code:

ls -la /opt/google/earth/free/
