Hello, all: A while back, there was some discussion here about Google Earth not working on amd64 systems. I decided to take another whack at it today, using make-googleearth-package. I had it download the latest GoogleEarth.bin, but then, trying to make the package, it threw lots of warnings at me, claimed "Success!" at the end, but in fact had failed to build a package. So, I decided just to go with 'sh GoogleEarth.bin' (as root) which installed Google Earth. So far, so good, but when I invoked googleearth, as an ordinary user, I got an "authentication error." So, I googled that, and learned that I needed to install lib32nss-mdns. Did that, and now I have Google Earth - with all its cool new features - up and running; and I did NOT have to remove my ~/.googleearth directory (as one googled answer had suggested), so that all my saved sites were still listed.
