Anyone get Google Earth to work on SL6.1?

[Todd And Margo Chester]

Hi Guys,

   Anyone get google-earth-stable-6.0.3.2197-0.x86_64.rpm to work
on SL 6.1 x64?  All I get is a splash screen and a caught signal 11.

Many thanks,

Hi Guys,

This about killed me but I finally figured it out:

google-earth-stable-6.0.3.2197-0.x86_64.rpm is not a pure 64 bit
application.  It is mixing 32 bit and 64 bit video drives.

Installing the 32 driver for x86_64 (not the true 32 bit driver)
fixed the problem

# rpm -qa \*nvidia\*
kmod-nvidia-280.13-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-280.13-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-280.13-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

The nvidia-x11-drv-32bit package was what fixed the problem.

Got my RPMs from pbone.net and 
http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el6/x86_64/RPMS/


Now I can go look for fishing holes again.  Thanks to everyone
who helped me with this.

Hi Akemi,

libmodplug-0.8.7-1.el6.rf.x86_64

I lost track of that in all the confusion around here.  Thank you for
the reminder.
