-GoogleEarth (Google's famous virtual globe)
-
-Google Earth is a virtual globe program. It maps a version of the
-Earth by the superimposition of images obtained from satellite
-imagery, aerial photography and GIS over a 3D globe. You point
-and zoom to any place on the planet that you want to explore.
-Satellite images and local facts zoom into view. Tap into Google
-search to show local points of interest and facts. Zoom to a
-specific address to check out an apartment or hotel. View driving
-directions and even fly along your route.
-
-The degree of resolution available is based somewhat on the points
-of interest, but most land (except for some islands) is covered in at
-least 15 meters of resolution.
-
-When running GoogleEarth for the first time, you will see an error
-message stating that it is unable to find the Bitstream Vera fonts.
-This should be safe to ignore - it will use other fonts (and the
-DejaVu fonts included with Slackware are based on the Bitstream fonts).
-
-NOTEs:
-1) Google updates the GoogleEarth bin-file without changing the download
- link location and they don't use version numbering in the filename
- (the version is more an internal numbering).
-
- Therefore, this script is subject to failing (and a different MD5SUM)
- at any time due to the fact that you might get a newer version
- of GoogleEarth than what the script is designed to use. Please notify
- the maintainer if this is the case.
-
-2) Google Earth 6 is "LSB compliant" meaning it was built on a LSB system.
- Slackware however does not have that symlink which is part of the LSB 3.0
- specification. You'll need to create the symlink manually after installing
- the package:
-
- ln -sf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
-
-3) GoogleEarth is a 32bit application only. You need to have the 32bit
- compatibility packages installed to have this work on a 64bit system.
- Otherwise you'll just see "no such file or directory" errors.
-
-4) GoogleEarth now requires that you have OpenGL drivers installed on your
- system (and Xorg configured to use them). Not doing so will cause X
- to crash.
