Google earth install

[Al Black]

Hi gang,

Trying to install recent Google Earth from their website.  I'm running
Intrepid 8.10 on a AMD 64 processor.

Here's the error reports from the term on install:

al at al-desktop:~/Desktop/google_earth$ sudo ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin 
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

When I try to run GE for the applications menu, the initial image starts
up for a sec and disappears.

My guess is that I'm not the first person to run into this. I'll take a
look tommorow about fixing this, but would appreciate direction on where
to look, what to do etc.

Thanks in advance.
