cannot install google earth on F19

[Fred Smith]

When attempting to install google earth, I get this:

# yum localinstall google-earth-stable_current_i386.rpm
Loaded plugins: langpacks, refresh-packagekit
Examining google-earth-stable_current_i386.rpm: google-earth-stable-7.1.1.1888-0.i386

and that's the end of it. the rpm DOES include an ehtry for /usr/bin, but I didn't
think that was inherently erronneous.

Anyone know how to make this work?

thanks!

Don't top-post, s'il vous plaît.

Install:

google-earth-stable_current_[x86_64|i386].rpm
ln -s /opt/google/earth/free/google-earth /usr/bin/
xdg-desktop-menu install /opt/google/earth/free/google-earth.desktop

Uninstall:
rpm -evh google-earth-stable
rm -f /usr/bin/google-earth

Non proprio.
Unwrap it via 'deco' and install it via 'install'
man 1 install

Known problem with the google rpm....

What I do is....

1.  Install rpmrebuild
2.  Run rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
3.  Find the line....
     %dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/bin"  and delete it...
4.  The rpm will be rebuilt will be saved for you to install.

It may also be helpful to install rpmdevtools and run rpmdev-setuptree.

It's an upstream bug, 3rd party packages should never own dirs like
/usr/bin/.

What I personally do it extract the rpm (using file-roller), and execute
<EXTRACTED_DIR>
/opt/google/earth/free/googleearth from terminal, I just have to install
the deps (either looking at 'rpm -qpR *.rpm' or just installing the libs
the binary complains about not finding). YMMV.
