使用fedora 13 Linux，安装google earth，安装后却无法运行，解决过程手记。
系统环境，fedora13，内核版本为 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686（是fedora12的内核，因为新版本内核对显示支持有问题，用新版本内核自己编译也是一样，于是用fedora12里的老版本内核了），安装时，只选择了一部分自己觉得有必要的有安装，而并没选择其它过多的软件包。
安装google earth时选择的安装位置选择为/usr/local/而不是默认的/opt/，安装后无法运行，有selinux报错，由于对selinux并不熟悉，于是修改selinux为只报告，并不阻拦。然后在命令行里运行，又看到错误消息：具体消息没有记下来，最后两行大概是这个样子：
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.7.1) (fedora-37.b17.fc13-i386)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
不知道是缺少JDK包，但在“系统－管理－添加/删除软件”里搜索JDK，好几个OpenJDK相关的包都安装过了的，有几个没有装，从名字上看，感觉只是JDK“外围”包或文档之类的。以前使用fedora12安装google earth时没有遇到任何问题，但之前是安装到默认的/opt/，于是到安装目录里运行./uninstall卸载google earth，然后再安装到默认位置。
再次运行，还是一样的错误提示。于是报死马当活马医的心态，安装OpenJKD搜索出来的所有几个包(具体哪几个不记得了, e!e!)，再次运行，google earth，哈，居然好了，运行正常。
于是记下来这个过程，但控制台里较早的很多内容，已经都没有了。

Google了好久， 终于找到解决办法：
vi ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf
找到类似如下语句：
lastTip=9
在其后添加如下语句：
enableTips=false
----------------------------------------
字面意思好像是“不启用提示”， 对使用应该没有什么影响， 没办法，凑合着用了。
P.S.
Linux 下 修改 Google Earth 的默认缓存和KMLPath目录方法：
==========================================
# vi ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf
相应修改 CachePath 和 KMLPath 字段的值即可
==========================================
我也遇到了这个问题，上网搜索了好久， 不过终于解决了。
你可以参考下我的解决办法：

呵呵，非常感谢相告，试试是不是这个原因。
