Install Google Earth

Perhaps my favorite application, it has to install otherwise, Linux cannot compete with Microsoft.

I followed directions in Software install. Had to look for where google earth installer was made.
Run:
/usr/bin/make-googleearth-package


ttf was missing so I had to install it. The install software would not do it unless I unchecked all the extra repositories.

 sudo dpkg -i googleearth_5.1.3535.3218+0.5.7-1_i386.deb

Package: googleearth
Version: 5.1.3535.3218+0.5.7-1
Section: non-free/science
Architecture: i386
Depends: ttf-dejavu | ttf-bitstream-vera | msttcorefonts, libc6 (>= 2.1.3), libc6 (>= 2.2), libc6 (>= 2.3), libc6 (>= 2.3.2), libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6~), libc6 (>= 2.4), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.12.0), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libsm6, libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), libx11-6, libx11-6 (>= 0), libxext6, libxext6 (>= 0), libxrender1, nvidia-current, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

It WORKS!
