Howto install Google Earth 5.0 Beta on Ubuntu

STEP 1 : GETTING THE PACKAGES :

Let's download google earth 5.0 beta package first:

$wget -c http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin

STEP 2 : INSTALLING AND FIXING A SMALL BUG

Then we will make it executable :

$chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin

Now let's run and install it :

$.GoogleEarthLinux.bin

After installation let's go to google earth folder (/home/USERNAME/google-earth at my case)

$cd /home/USERNAME/google-earth

AND rename libcrypto.so.0.9.8 this file to anything you want (else it will not run)

$cp libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.8.backup

It is done, you can run Google Earth 5.0 Beta now
