在Fedora 14下安装Google Earth 6.0.1.2032 beta

首先，从google官方下载简体中文版的google earth

http://www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/earth/download/ge/agree.html

打开终端，切换到root用户

[hang@localhost 下载]$ su root

好，我们先来看看google earth的安装帮助

[root@localhost 下载]# chmod 777 GoogleEarthLinux.bin
[root@localhost 下载]# GoogleEarthLinux.bin --help
Makeself version 2.1.5
1) Getting help or info about ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin :
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --help   Print this message
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --info   Print embedded info : title, default target directory, embedded script ...
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --lsm    Print embedded lsm entry (or no LSM)
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --list   Print the list of files in the archive
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin --check  Checks integrity of the archive

2) Running ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin :
./GoogleEarthLinux.bin [options] [--] [additional arguments to embedded script]
with following options (in that order)
--confirm             Ask before running embedded script
--noexec              Do not run embedded script
--keep                Do not erase target directory after running
the embedded script
--nox11               Do not spawn an xterm
--nochown             Do not give the extracted files to the current user
--target NewDirectory Extract in NewDirectory
--tar arg1 [arg2 ...] Access the contents of the archive through the tar command
--                    Following arguments will be passed to the embedded script

接下来，根据安装帮助上的指示，我们可以运行GoogleEarthLinux.bin把安装程序解压到指定的临时文件夹里，

在这里我把它指定解压到/tmp/google-earth目录下。

[root@localhost 下载]# mkdir /tmp/google-earth
[root@localhost 下载]# GoogleEarthLinux.bin --target /tmp/google-earth
Creating directory /tmp/google-earth
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 6.0.1.2032.............................................................................................
This version of Google Earth requires LSB 4.0 support which you
do not seem to have.
./setup.sh: line 285: [: missing `]'
/bin/su: 用户yum install redhat-lsb 不存在

./setup.sh: line 158:  3516 段错误               (core dumped) "$setup" "$@"

解压后它自动运行安装程序并出现了错误提示，说我没有安装LSB。

LSB其实我已经安装过啦，并且是最新版本，所以暂时不用管它

[root@localhost 下载]# yum install redhat-lsb

设置安装进程
包 redhat-lsb-4.0-5.fc14.i686 已安装并且是最新版本
无须任何处理

接下来我们切换到/tmp/google-earth/setup.data/bin/Linux/x86目录下

用setup.gtk把setup.gtk2覆盖掉

[root@localhost 下载]# cd /tmp/google-earth/setup.data/bin/Linux/x86
[root@localhost x86]# mv setup.gtk setup.gtk2
mv：是否覆盖"setup.gtk2"？ y

最后，我们再次切换回google earth的解压目录下

运行安装脚本setup.sh

[root@localhost x86]# cd /tmp/google-earth
[root@localhost google-earth]# ./setup.sh

google earth的图形界面安装程序就弹出来啦



接下来图形界面下的安装就易办多了

我把google earth安装到/opt/google/google-earth目录下



点击“Begin Install”

最终google earth在Fedora 14下的安装就结束啦
