As of 13.10 Saucy, ia32-libs is no longer available from the repositories. Use the multiarch-support package from the repositories and download the 32bit .deb from http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html

If you get a "error 29", you may miss "lib32nss-mdns". Install this library like this:

sudo aptitude install lib32nss-mdns

You may also install other 32bit libraries. Note that google does not provide a 64 bit version of Google Earth. Thus installation on x64 system will take some extra efforts.

After dist.upgrade from 13.10 tot 14.04 Google Earth didn't run anymore. The ia21-libs dependency error showed up and I couldn't fix it using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth. Installing the 32-bit version worked for me eventually..
