google earth bin install from console help

[grandkodiak]

so i downloaded GoogleEarthLinux.bin and tried to install it via chmod as i found googling install mehod.

i did

cdhmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin

nothing seemed to happen, it didnt report anything but i noticed the file name turned green after a quick ls command.

then i did

./GoogleEarthLinux.bin

and got this response:


Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 5.2.1.1588........................................ ......................
setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty

^
setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

^

What went wrong, and how do i fix it?

Follow the Tombuntu How to Install Google Earth in Ubuntu 10.04 Method 2: googleearth-package. This will build an appropriate .deb package that you will then use to install GoogleEarthLinux from.
