google-earth anybody?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

I first tried to dl and install with dpkg, the current version from google.  
No dice, can't find its binary pieces, bales out.

Then I found the make-googleearth-package utility and installed that, then 
ran it, which downloaded yet another copy from google.  Then it failed, 
missing dependency's.  Fired up synaptic, used fix broken to pull in 
several other bit & pieces.  Re-ran the make script, bailed out on versions 
& recommended I use the --force option.

That squawked about 200 or so libraries it couldn't find the versions of, 
but made a package anyway, so I installed it.

Now it fusses about lack of direct-x availability, which I assume nouveau 
doesn't have, but regardless of which box I check on the startup requester, 
google-earth's startup advisory box just goes away.

Has anyone succeeded in making google-earth run on a ubuntu 10.04-4-122-
rtai system?

If so, do you recall how?

Thanks all

Cheers, Gene
