That helped in that I found I had an old parallel install of googleearth installed that I cleaned out and I also found a newer 32-bit mesa (the machine is 64-bit). Unfortunately it still doesn't work. The googleearth screen comes up but when it tries to render the earth it crashes with this: Warning: Unable to create prefs directory '/home/markus/.googleearth'.

This will eliminate at least one of the error messages, and keep it from falling back to software rendering. ~ C. </pre> </blockquote> Thanks.
