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

The Url I obtained the info from
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/earth/thread?tid=6f59e15bf811d4e2&hl=en

Both of these suggestions are gleaned from a simple search on 
"googleearth" on this list which is how I got it going on my 64-
bit F14 boxes - and yes, it's GoogleEarth not "google earth" - 
just saying...
