Bugzilla Bug 222489

GE seems to (r)depend on it, b/c otherwise I get :
tfoerste@n22 ~ $ googleearth
./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Reproducible: Always

You did not tell what version of googleearth you do use, but my version
(googleearth-4.2.205.5730) does not link against libXinerama.

At least not directly.
# readelf -d /opt/googleearth/googleearth-bin |grep Xinerama
Shows nothing.
Neither do
# readelf -d /opt/googleearth/lib* |grep Xinerama

So I think another lib on your system is broken, but not googleearth RDEPENDS.

I've currently Version 4.3.7204.0836(beta) from April 24 2008 :

n22 /opt/googleearth # ldd libQt3Support.so.4 | grep Xiner
        libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0xb73f2000)
n22 /opt/googleearth # ldd libQtGui.so.4 | grep Xiner
        libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0xb7609000)

forgot the mention :

n22 /usr/portage/x11-misc/googleearth # equery l googleearth

Toralf is right, new versions of googleearth are linking against libXinerama.
