Answering my own question: After installing the Debian package (which is a script to download google earth and make of it a Debian package) I would have proceded except for the fact that (according to the Debian README file, it currently works only on x86 packages, because google earth is an i386 binary. But my laptop is an amd64. And I am unwilling to run proprietary google code on my desktop machine. RLH
