Peter,
Right click the file, go to Properties tab and check the box labeled "make executable". Close the window and double click the file.
Regards,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo
It doesn't work and the switch 'Allow executing file as program' is already activated.

you might have a bad download.
press Ctl+Alt+T to get into terminal then type
sudo apt-get install google-earth
it will install automatically for you.

Ricardo, it doesn't work. But forget it. I don't need it. Thanks.

Try to do this:
Open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
cd ~/Desktop
wget http://
chmod +x GoogleEarthLinu
sudo ./GoogleEarthLi
and follow the instructions on the screen

I tried to install the application as I mentioned above and did not work for me. Following some research it (Saint Google) and the correct way to install the application is as follows:
sudo apt-get install googleearth-package
make-googleeart
sudo dpkg -i googleearth_*.deb
That worked for me, I hope for you too

Ricardo
