Hi
Can anyone help me out with some install trouble?
I'm trying to use Google Earth in Salix Xfce 4.10, but can't get it to run.
After installing, I keep getting the error
/usr/bin/google-earth: line 43: ./googleearth-bin: No such file or directory
or
Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/googleearth-bin" (No such file or directory).
Does anyone know what the trouble is?
Thanks

Re: Installing Google Earth in Salix
Leaving aside the fact that there is no Salix Xfce 4.10, and you fail to mention that you're on a 64bit installation, this is from the google-earth README file (the one you can read before actually installing it):
4) GoogleEarth is a 32bit application only. You need to have the 32bit
compatibility packages installed to have this work on a 64bit system.
Otherwise you'll just see "no such file or directory" errors. I am aware
that Google puts a 64bits debian package out, but this is a 32bits package
with a 64bit wrapper for debian that installs multilib

Re: Installing Google Earth in Salix
Ah OK.
Which package install is going to make it work for me?
I'm failing to find anything in the repositories under 32bit compatibility or multilib or any combination.
About Xfce does say
Version 4.10, Distributed by Slackware.
I'm interpreting that wrong?
I really appreciate all the help I get with dumb questions about Salix here.
This forum has been clutch over and over
Thanks!

None. Multilib is not supported. Install it and you're on your own.wackpanther wrote:Which package install is going to make it work for me?
If you search the wiki, you will find instructions though.
That's the Xfce version. It's not the Salix version. And it's of no use, because Salix 14.0 and Salix 14.1 both have Xfce 4.10.wackpanther wrote:About Xfce does say
