First I tried the download from the Google Earth web site - it installed but quit after a few seconds when started. Then using Synaptic I installed GE 4.3 that would quit after a few seconds, I then tried installing 4.2 and it did the same thing. Here's my terminal output: g@laptop:~$ googleearth Warning: Unable to create prefs directory '/home/g/.googleearth'. File exists. ./googleearth-bin: relocation error: /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libssl.so.0.9.8: symbol BIO_test_flags, version OPENSSL_0.9.8 not defined in file libcrypto.so.0.9.8 with link time reference g@laptop:~$ -- That's it, any help appreciated. </blockquote></div> Try renaming the folder '/home/g/.googleearth', perhaps that will make it work. In a terminal, this would be: g@laptop:~$ mv ~/.googleearth ~/.googleearth~ In Thunar, press Ctrl+H to show the hidden files, then rename the .googleearth folder to something else. -- Vincent
