Image via CrunchBase, source unknown Today I finally decided that it’s about time to try to install Google Earth on my new computer, running an 64-bit version of Debian Testing. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: “I love Debian!”
First I’ve done a Google search and found solution at SysAdmin’s Diary. Just for my own information I’ll list the steps here, for details take a look at SysAdmin’s Diary blog.
As simple as:
1. Install the googleearth-package
2. Run make-googleearth-package to build the googleearth Debian package
3. See the googleearth_4.3.7284.3916+0.5.4-1_amd64.deb !!! Now, install it.
4. Run googleearth, voila!
If Google Earth complains about error 29 you should also install the lib32nss-mdns package. It might also help to delete the ~/.googleearth folder.
