Google Earth doesn't work in Fedora 11
I recently upgraded from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 and everything seems to be fine except that Google Earth no longer works. When I run it the globe display is covered with randomly generated, variously shaped dark patches. Anybody successfully running the latest Google Earth in Fedora 11?

I actually had trouble with it on F10 - now that I have F11, it works fine.

I'm also having trouble with Google Earth on FC11. I'm running an Nvidia 8600GT with the rpmfusion driver (185.18.31) and just get a black screen. glxgears works fine.

Greetings.............I, also, had trouble with Google Earth (just the fonts not appearing correctly) up to FC11. After upgrading from FC10 to FC11, I completely removed any trace of it (as best as I could), & reinstalled it. Now, it works fine.......cheers!

I think Google Earth needs OpenGL to work. Not sure of that though, does anyone know for sure? If that is true maybe you don't have OpenGL enabled. Just a guess  .

This time I did a new installation of F11 rather than an upgrade. Everything now works fine including Google Earth.

On my new installation of F11, I get a Segmentation Fault when running Google Earth. Nothing comes up. I've tried yum downgrade mesa*, ( http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showth...t=google+earth) with no luck. I gather the problem is I am running NVIDIA's propriatary drivers which don't have the appropriate 32-bit libraries for Google Earth (a 32-bit application).

I have an nvidia card with nvidia drivers, which I have had no problem with until F11. I get the following error:
10% googleearth
./googleearth-bin: ./libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./libgoogleearth_lib.so)
./googleearth-bin: ./libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by ./libbase.so)

In the directory where google earth was installed, change the libstdc++.so.6 into libstdc++.so.6.org. Use the system's such lib rather than that provided by google earth itself. Similar changes may also required for libgcc_s.so.1 and libQt*.

GE 5.1 and 5.0 crashes right after the splash screen and refers to crashlog. Nothing useful there except system info and stack pointer.
Running Nvidia 8600 GT. Crashes with or without NVIDIA driver loaded.
