Yes you did it! You have Google Earth running on your system using wine! Can you give a short ‘HOWTO’ for ‘not so experienced’ linux users? I would be very glad to be able to use Google Earth, too, but I will not install any M$OS…
Bugger - I cant get this thing running on my linux 64 bit system. I tried wine and crossover - but nothing works
Which version ( date/size ) of GoogleEarth are you using? I’m unable to complete instalation under Ubuntu 5.10 - error message is “could not get IPSFactory buffer for interface”
hey Jan - version was from dec*
does anybody have it running and is willing to drop a few notes on the software (versions) used?
Hi there. I installed using the instructions from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_GoogleEarth_with_wine
but just one thing isn’t working: I cannot see the text of the coordinates on the “earth” window. I tried installing the corefonts package, copied them to .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/, restarted xfs server but had no luck. Any hint would be greatelly appreciated.
hi all
Mr. Macewan claims that he has it running on a linux box? - so why is not given details of how its done?

hey zch,
I just installed Breezy from the shipped CD - after updating the packages I’ll install Google Earth on Ubuntu Breezy with complete instructions of my actions.
cheers,
macewan

I think he just manipulated the screenshot! If I would thank you if you would help me to install google earth on SUSE 10.0 with KDE!
PS: I think cedega should be published under a free lizense, that everyone may play and use google earth under linux.
Google- best websearch
Google earth- good programm that doesn´t work under linux.
have you seen those videos of opensuse?? unreal!

uto, no?
as for the screenshot being manipulated, I’m more insulted that you would think I do such a sloppy job faking the shot
It’s a real shot.
how can i get Wine to enjoy google earth on linux
How can I get Wine to run Google earth on Linux?
For all those wondering how to get Google Earth running, heres how to do it….
1. Switch to Gentoo
2. Read the following article

Works well in breezy, only problem with the fonts but it seems that nobody could fix that.
Google now has a Linux version of Google Earth.
