linux amd64 installer borked (ELF32 binaries)
      #517846 - 07/18/06 11:42 PM

Code:

setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The setup program seems to have failed on amd64

Fatal error, installer failed to run at all!


ran ldconfig and still fails,

Code:

larry@osprey:~/GoogleEarth$ locate libxml2.so
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2
/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2.6.24
/usr/lib/libxml2.so
larry@osprey:~/GoogleEarth$ locate libSM.so
/usr/lib/libSM.so.6.0.0
/usr/lib/libSM.so.6


And looking further...This Might Be Why.
Code:

larry@osprey:~/GoogleEarth$ file setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/*
setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk:  ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, stripped
setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, stripped
setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/uninstall:  ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, stripped


Those should be
Code:
ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.0, stripped


oh oopsies, with whom do I file a bug report?

No 64-bit support; Google Earth is x86 binary [Re: laprice]
      #520818 - 07/20/06 04:38 PM

It basically boils down to the fact that no x64 libraries are bundled with the Google Earth installer. You can view the contents of the installer by running "sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin --noexec --target ~/ge-install" and examine, fix, replace the installer files all you need to. More options in the installer can be found by using the "--help" argument.

Also, the Google Earth executable is a 32-bit binary file, which makes the best options being running it in an emulator of some sort.

--------------------
Let the mind beware, that though the project be buggy, the circumstances of software testing are pretty damn glorious.

Thanks for the answer, I'll be setting up a 32-bit environment for GEarth, this should probably be in the FAQ/README in the distribution
