Google earth is released for Linux. http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
I'd really like to see this as well
Created attachment 89008 [details] googleearth-4_beta.ebuild Bit ugly but it's a start.
thanks, I added the ebuild to portage.
It wasn't finished but okay...
(In reply to comment #4) > It wasn't finished but okay... Please elaborate?
I have of course reqorked it before inclusion, that is usual. Close to nothing goes in untouched from the bugs.
Should probably have some dependencies and it should do something about the exec stack notice. "RWX --- --- opt/googleearth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8" Maybe just remove this.
Created attachment 89014 [details] googleearth-4_beta.ebuild ok, it looks like this now. any more comments? :)
What happens when you want to do a version bump and the filename isn't changed?
then we have a problem. I have been contacted for picasa with a request not to mirror the file. Probably I need to contact the guy then again about Google Earth.
It seems there is a problem with file sizes of the GoogleEarthLinux.bin. >>> Emerging (1 of 1) x11-misc/googleearth-4_beta to / >>> Downloading http://dl.google.com/earth/GE4/GoogleEarthLinux.bin --10:49:56-- http://dl.google.com/earth/GE4/GoogleEarthLinux.bin => `/usr/portage/distfiles/GoogleEarthLinux.bin' Resolving dl.google.com... 64.233.183.91, 64.233.183.93 Connecting to dl.google.com|64.233.183.91|:80... connected.
