[CentOS] Google Earth on EL6.x x86_64
Has anyone gotten 64-bit google earth to run on el6 x86_64? It dies almost immediately, complaining for lack of ld-lsb.so.3. Perusing user forums at google I see a few others with the problem, but no (working) solutions.

I did "ldd /opt/google/earth/free/googleearth-bin" and got back a list of a dozen or so "not found" items, would you be willing to check on your system and see what you get back? (that might be because it has not been thru the preceding shellscript that might set up some ENV to point to the right places, I suppose.) thanks!

I think it should be able to resolve all "external" libs via standard path. You probably need to install 32-bit versions of a lot more libs, like Qt and the basic X11 stuff. The real problem here is that libraries used is not listed in the package requirements. Not to mention the fact that the so-called 64-bit package actually contains 32-bit binaries. Or at least, that's the case for the one I have - google-earth-stable-7.0.2.8415-0.x86_64. - Toralf > > thanks! > > Fred > This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.

I do have a supported graphics card (Nvidia GeForce 9800GT), and have the nvidia drivers installed. can anyone advise how to make GE recognize it? I'm guessing it's failing because Google seems to be distributing 32-bit binaries instead of 64-bit binaries, but I've no clue how to fix this. Clues will be appreciated! thanks in advance.
