You could always add the medibuntu repo and then just apt-get install
googleearth

If it's in your own directory then you shouldn't need sudo.

Cheers,

Just go to the directory it's in and type "sudo chmod 755 .bin"

You will be promoted for your password, supply it.

Then you simply type ./.bin

And it should install.

You don't need Wine - it isn't a Windows application, as far as I know.

Hi,

You will need to make the binary file executable first. Right click on
the file, select properties and go to the permissions tab. There
should be a checkbox saying something like "Make executable". Tick the
box.

Should then be a case of double clicking on it. Although I'm sure it
depends on Wine, so it may invoke apt-get and install and download
Wine unless it is already bundled with it..
