Posted by admin in : Internet Tips, Others , trackback
In fact Google Earth is only available for 32-bit architecture, called the i386 Debian. If your computer’s Core 2 Duo will be installed 64-bit Ubuntu called amd64. For this type, need additional treatment to be run.
First make sure that the architecture had been installed :
$ uname -a
Linux dns1 2.6.24-24-server #1 SMP Fri Jul 24 23:27:55 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
i686 on the show this kind of 32 bits. Thus, after the download at the site, you can simply install Google Earth:
$ sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
But if you get a message like this:
Linux compaq 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
x86_64 show where 64 bit architecture, then began to follow the following steps.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install googleearth-package build-essential ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns
$ make-googleearth-package –email=jafar@esm2.web.id
Furthermore googleearth package creation process took place. When finished check file names:
$ ls -l *.deb
googleearth_5.1.3533.1731+0.5.6-1_amd64.deb
Then install as usual:
$ sudo dpkg -i googleearth_5.1.3533.1731+0.5.6-1_amd64.deb
Run:
$ googleearth
Or in KDE you can find in the K menu, Applications, Internet, Google Earth.
This method has been tested on Kubuntu 9.10 Karmic 64bit.
