Googleeartg will not run without 32-bit accelerator drivers. If you use 
Nvidia-graphic cards, you should nor use debian packages. They will nt work. 
It is a bug! 

Try instead the nvidia installer from the nvidia site. But before you install 
the driver with this script, make sure, you uninstalled and purged all debian 
nvidia stuff.

And of course you need to have a multiarch environment, as googleearth is a 
32-bit application.

Good luck!
