Yes been there but all that happens is i get a load of failed deps one of which it seems cannot be satisfied and all 32 bit stuff this is a 64 bit the PKGBUILD mentions 64 bit but goes for 32 bit the fails also complains about google-earth.install is missing so i dont know where to look next
It installs 32-bit libraries because the google-earth binary is 32-bit. You can still run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system. I've got a 64-bit system and it's installed and runs fine. The missing dependency is probably ld-lsb, which you have to get from the AUR and install prior to installing google-earth. If it is complaining about a missing google-earth.install, probably you downloaded just the PKGBUILD. Download and extract the full tarball and you'll have google-earth.install. I should point out that all of this information is available at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR == John K Pate http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0930006/ -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
