Or -- if you have the 'apt-file' package installed:

  tomas@rasputin:~$ sudo apt-file update # do this from time to time
  [some output elided]
  tomas@rasputin:~$ apt-file search libcurl.so.4
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.2.0
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.3.0
  libcurl3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4.4.0

Thus, libcurl3 is providing the library (this works even when the package
in question isn't installed).

To see where googleearth is looking for its libs, try

  ldd /usr/lib/googleearthbin
