Depending on the video card/drivers you're using, you'll need the 32 bit xorg version

And there's this:

the secret is as follows if my notes to myself are correct

To avoid "setup.data/setup.xml:1: parser error : Document is empty"

error

./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --target /tmp/ge

cd /tmp/ge/setup.data/bin/Linux/x86/

mv setup.gtk setup.gtk2

cd /tmp/ge; ./setup.sh This worked OK F14
