Google Earth fails

[Wil Willis]

I'm running 9.10 ; anybody seen this one:

Just set up the Medibuntu repository and installed Google Earth.  I get 
the spash screen and then nothing.  If I run googleearth from the 
command line I get this:

e apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed.
 This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal
 circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written
