google-earth-legacy (Google's famous virtual globe - legacy version)
|
|
|
|
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 Earth 7 (legacy) is "LSB compliant" meaning it was built on
|
|
an LSB system. Slackware however does not have that symlink which
|
|
is part of the LSB 3.0 specification. Before, you had to add that
|
|
symlink manually; that is now handled in doinst.sh. For nostalgia
|
|
sake, the symlinks are:
|
|
in /lib: (32-bit)
|
|
ln -sv ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb.so.3
|
|
in /lib64:
|
|
ln -sv ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3
|
|
|
|
2) Google Earth sometimes crashes when the 65-fonts-persian.conf is
|
|
available on the system. If you experience crashes, try removing
|
|
/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf prior to launching this
|
|
application. The easiest way to do this is:
|
|
|
|
mv /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf \
|
|
/etc/fonts/conf.d/65-fonts-persian.conf.old
|
|
|
|
3) GoogleEarth requires that you have OpenGL drivers installed on your
|
|
system (and Xorg configured to use them). Not doing so will cause X
|
|
to crash.
|
|
|
|
4) This is the legacy version 7.3.0, which is the last version to be
|
|
released for 32-bit systems. On startup, a nag screen will pop up
|
|
advising you that a new version is availble, which you can safely
|
|
ignore.
