If you just created a fresh package of Google Earth using make-googleearth-package
from googleearth-package on your Debian AMD64 installation, have an Nvidia card and experience either a black screen or the error message /usr/lib/googleearth/googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
, just make sure to install the following libraries.
# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update
# apt-get install nvidia-vdpau-driver:i386 libgl1-nvidia-glx:i386
Just install these packages:
# apt-get install nvidia-glx-ia32 nvidia-vdpau-driver-ia32
And voilà – Google Earth works just fine as expected :)
