How to get Google Earth installed via .DEB?

Now I've really messed things up.

A long time ago, I installed Google Earth via a binary installer from Google (v5.1, I think).

Google now has version 6 available as a .DEB, so I decided to install that. However, that seems to have messed up both installations and now no matter what I do, I can't get Google Earth to run.

Here's what I do:

sudo apt-get purge google-earth-stable
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb

Which I thought would work... but when I run google-earth, I get:

/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found

How can I get it installed now?

Try with this tutorial :

install-google-earth-6-in-ubuntu-linux.html

hope it help

Go to this page and click on the big blue button that says "Download Google Earth 6", this should give you the option of installing Google Earth as a .deb. Install it like you would any other .deb
