Now I've really messed things up.
A long time ago, I installed Google Earth via a binary installer from Google (v5.1, I think).
Google now has version 6 available as a .DEB, so I decided to install that. However, that seems to have messed up both installations and now no matter what I do, I can't get Google Earth to run.
Here's what I do:
sudo apt-get purge google-earth-stable
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb
Which I thought would work... but when I run google-earth
, I get:
/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found
How can I get it installed now?
