[Bug 852101] Re: 32-bit applications do not start on 64

[Tom]

> This bug affects my system (Kubuntu 11.10 64-bit) specifically with
Google Earth. No matter how I try to install GE, whether from the 64-bit
deb from Google, or using the googleearth-package installer, trying to
start GE in terminal results in "/usr/bin/google-earth: 43:
./googleearth-bin: not found"

I'm in the same boat here, I think one compounding issue is that Google
Earth also depends on the lsb-core libraries, however sudo apt-get
install lsb-core:i386 causes all sorts of crazy dependency problems (I
think this shouldn't happen).

$ sudo apt-get install lsb-core:i386
