Sometimes, that means you're running a 32 bit program on a 64 bit
system.  

Or, it may be that you just didn't have the package that provides that
shared object.  (That is, on a system where the package matches the
architecture.)


The package is redhat-lsb, at least on a CentOS system.  (The way to
check is with 

yum provides */<name>, so in this case

yum provides */ld-lsb.so.3

will tell you what package should install the needed .so file.


I don't use google earth, but if you got it through a repo, it 
have taken care of that and I guess it would be a Fedora issue.

If you got it elsewhere, then the problem may be in the packaging.
