True, I forgot about that. Made an ass out of myself.

That was mainly what I was talking about. They release Google Earth and Picaso and Hello for Windows, nothing for us Linux users. Yes, we could go through the Wine install and configuration, but I personally would rather not go through that. |
You didn't make an ass out of yourself. Just because they did the summer of code doesn't make them "even." I think they should give more back. Especially since their entire operation is on linux.
Yes they release mainly webapps that are cross-platform, but their newer and "cooler" stuff is being released windows only which is a rather aggravating practice. |

I have crossover office installed, but I can't get Google Earth to run under it. Can I install wine as well and have them run alongside each other?
Thanks

Yes you can, because crossover is installed in the /opt directory.

Just tried it out and it works really well. The only problem I'm having is with some weird distorted fonts but besides that everything seems to work really well. Thanks for the link and thank you google.
edit: here is image of fenway park using google earth 4 for linux. In case anyone wants to see the quality of the linux client. |

Great !
Installation is very easy and except of the "strange fonts" everything works fine.
It´s a very good quality of the pictures, I´m really impressed ! |

I think not yet !
But the .bin installation is simple and to uninstall the whole software you only need to remove the directory ! |

You can do "file *.bin" to find out it is a shell script and then poke around in it with "less *.bin". This led me to: | Code: | | $ sudo bash GoogleEarthLinux.bin |

I also have very ugly fonts (very small, almost impossible to read).
I understand that it is using qt:
| Code: |
ldd googleearth-bin |grep qt
./googleearth-bin: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.5/32/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by ./libgoogleearth.so)
libqt-mt.so.3 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/qt/3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0xf6fec000)
libqui.so.1 => /emul/linux/x86/usr/qt/3/lib/libqui.so.1 (0xf6fb9000)
|
Does anyone know how to change them? (qt-config wouldn't work) |

It looks so. I haven't tried the ebuild yet, though.

what versions of emul-x86?
i tried to run but:
~/google-earth $ ./googleearth-bin
./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
using the last stable ebuilds for emul-linux-x86 for amd64 (all of them, except qtlibs)
edit: ohh nevermind, you have to run ./googleearth, it already comes with the .so files |

I am also trying to run it on an x86_64 system. I have the small, difficult to read font issue mentioned above, but more importantly when I start googlearth it tells me that it cannot identify my graphics card, so I get no "render" display at all; just a black box.
Anyone have this working to any degree with nvidia drivers on amd64?
I have:
media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.8756
media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.8756 |

I am also using nvidia (exactly same version as yours) and amd64. No problems here (except of course the ridiculous fonts) |

Yes, I'm running it with the 8762 driver/glx on amd64. I'm also using Xgl, so I have to run it on the underlying xorg-server to get a clean display/decent performance, but run that way it works fine so far. |

Works great here with the ebuild provided from the bugzilla on ~amd64. However I guess it was ported with winelib or?

Well, knowing that it should work, and looked harder and found that my nvidia glx wasn't getting loaded. After I sorted that out, Google Earth worked fine. Now to do something about these fonts, I hope....

From R4 Beta it is a native app using qt. |
