      I tried to install GoogleEarth on PCLinuxOS 2010 but get the error message “No protocol specified”.
      What is that all about?

    Hi!

    I’ve downloaded GoogleEarthLinux.bin which is 30.00MB, but when I try to install using ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin, I get the following error message:
    "Verifying archive integrity… All good.
    Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 5.2.1.1588……………………………………………………..

    hmm. downloaded version 6 for Ubuntu-Debian and it install with a click, it opens the Ubuntu Software Centre and installs itself when you click the install button!

    Real Easy. [color=silver][color=purple]If it goes on like this they will say its as easy as Windows[/color].[/color] (actually it is already easier – especially if you have older or non standard hardware – no need to hunt working drivers!)

       I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and downloaded the deb file from the  google earth website http://earth.google.com/ then installed it via Ubuntu Software center and it worked like a charm.

I tried it and it works with a regular zip file, but if you password-protect the .zip file it does NOT work.

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
