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:
