As far as I know, this isn't something I can fix with googleearth-package, 
but is a problem with Google Earth itself, something I can not do anything 
about (except maybe try to work around things).

It's unfortunately, but the way that Google built Google Earth has been 
built in 4.3 gives a lot of trouble if you try to use it with any 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, and it can't be loaded the former way with ld-linux.so 
because of this same limitation.

Anyway, this is annoying, but there are multiple workarounds:

Unless you find a workaround that I haven't, your choices are to not use 
your own LD_LIBRARY_PATH *at all*, or revert to using Google Earth 4.2, 
which is still available on Google's site.

I'd be happy to accept patches if you find a better way to fix/workaround 
this.
