google earth crash kubuntu 8.10 kde 4.2

[cjae]

I have tried to install Google Earth 4.3 (medibuntu repo) and the new version 5.x from google.com on Kubuntu 8.10 (kde 4.2). I have tried not enabling desktop effects, still crashes I assume its an issue with plasma. Furthermore, sudo apt-get remove googleearth does not work, nore does the purge option. This was a clean install of 8.10 not an upgrade.

Hi, a possible solution is:

The conflict is due to duplication of the file libcrypto.so. To fix this, delete (or rename) that is within the google-earth directory (typically / home/usuario/google-earth/libcrypto.so.0.9.8) and links that already have in your file system from entering Inside the folder google-earth:

ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so libcrypto.so.0.9.8

Google earth 5(beta) starts OK but crashes out before earth graphic appears.

Google earth 4.3 runs AOK
