Introduction

Google Earth is a software that displays through a three-dimensional representation of the earth the various places of our planet through the maps also available on Google Maps. Google Earth is present in AUR as Unsupported PKGBUILD. It obviously requires that the X server hardware acceleration is enabled.

Installation

Download the Tarball (Archive) from AUR

Version for Arch i686
Version for Arch x86_64

Extract it in a folder in your home, then enter through the terminal, compile and install it.


32 bit:

tar -zxvf google-earth.tar.gz
cd google-earth
makepkg -cs
pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz

64 bit:

tar -zxvf bin32-google-earth.tar.gz
cd bin32-google-earth
makepkg -cs
pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz

OpenGL and 64Bit

When you use the proprietary nvidia or ati drivers on 64-bit don't forget to install the lib32-catalyst-utils from AUR or the lib32-nvidia-utils from [Community], otherwise you get no textures in GoogleEarth. For OSS-Driver use lib32-libgl-dri.
