Trying to install Google Earth on Lenny. How on earth??????
I have been trying to install Google Earth on Lenny in order to be able to
show a *********** insurance inspector what the junction, where my husband
and a cyclist had a slight contretemps a few weeks ago, looked like.
I am not getting very far. Googling brings up more stories of failure and
frustration than anything else. I finally tried using this:

I downloaded, then:

lisi@Tux:~$ cd /home/lisi/Peter/Google_Earth/
lisi@Tux:~/Peter/Google_Earth$ chmod u+x GoogleEarthLinux.bin
lisi@Tux:~/Peter/Google_Earth$ su

Tux:/home/lisi/Peter/Google_Earth# ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

I am short of time now, getting riled and probably not thinking straight.
Can any kind soul point me in the right direction or give me a hint as to what
I can usefully put in a Google search? Garbage in and garbage out. :-(
Thanks for any help,
Lisi
