googleearth, how do you install

[michaa7]

I found this website

http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/

I found the apt-gpg-key, but I did not find a repo. Can someone give me a pointer?

Hi Michaa,

Install (use apt-get) the googleearth-package from the standard repo.

Code Select Expand

root@imerabox:/# apt-cache policy googleearth-package
googleearth-package:
 Installed: 0.7.0
 Candidate: 0.7.0
 Version table:
*** 0.7.0 0
       500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable/contrib amd64 Packages
       500 http://http.debian.net/debian/ unstable/contrib amd64 Packages
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


Then, as user, run

Code Select Expand

make-googleearth-package

This will download what is needed (hopefully) and build the .deb package for you.  Then (as root) install it with dpkg.

I haven't tried it for some time -- on 64 bit it is sometimes a challenge.  I think towo makes the package on a 32-bit system and then copies it to the 64-bit system (with multiarch enabled) to install it.

Good luck!

Thanks.

First I did look with "apt-cache search google -n", but it seems I overlooked it. On my WS I'm on 32 bit, so no problem.

EDIT:// @ all
make sure  libfreeimage3 and libraw5 is installed.

No problem with d/l and install. Works now.
