Description Andrew Savchenko gentoo-dev 2013-08-22 03:34:57 UTC 
Hello,

latest googleearth requires SSE2 CPU, so on Athlon-XP it produces SIGILL:

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
[Switching to Thread 0xa9a67b40 (LWP 1832)]
0xb0224b12 in ?? () from /opt/googleearth/libge_chrome_net.so
(gdb) bt
#0  0xb0224b12 in ?? () from /opt/googleearth/libge_chrome_net.so
[...]
(gdb) x/i 0xb0224b12
=> 0xb0224b12:  cvtsi2sd %eax,%xmm0
 
cvtsi2sd is from SSE2 set: Convert signed doubleword or quadword integer to scalar double-precision floating-point value

Please add SSE2 check.

It is a sorrow to see how googleearth gets worse with each release.

Does this apply to current version as well?
