I installed GoogleEarth with the script, and it runs fine -- as root. It won't launch as a regular user. From the command line, I get "symlink: Permission Denied." The install script left this message on my console: Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 4.0.1563.................................................................. Installing mimetypes... Running /usr/bin/update-mime-database /home/arthur/.local/share/mime *** * Updating MIME database in /home/arthur/.local/share/mime... *** Note that '/home/arthur/.local/share' is not in the search path set by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variables, so applications may not be able to find it until you set them. The directories currently searched are: - /root/.local/share - /usr/local/share/ - /usr/share/ Installing desktop menu entries... Any ideas?
