Thanks, unfortunate timing then.

For reference, with Gnome shell / wayland I need to

unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM

to avoid 

Google Earth has caught signal 6.

Does the white background open instead of photographs for everyone? http://i.imgur.com/62ElPGh.jpg

Well, people often like to use the latest version just because it sounds nicer to have it, and hence it must be better. But the thing is, if you don't use Google Earth to get a sense what buildings look like from the sky, or as a tour guide, you will be much happier with the stabilized version, because it's actually going to work.

Version 7 of google-earth always crashed for me on my arch 64bit, no matter if I enabled any of the 2 flags. I know that version 6 works, but I am not keen to go back to that. This is a bit of an irony: I mean what keeps me from switching fully from Windows to Linux? Google! Yeah! By not providing for linux the same tools they provide for windows, like google drive (I know of some poor alternatives like grive) or providing low quality versions for linux (like the version 7 of google-earth)! But thank you for your effort.

Do you mean it still crashes after 4 days of nothing changing in the package? The last upstream update was almost a year ago (Oct 31st '13), which is why I recommended you to try out the legacy Google Earth (v6), which will show you the Panoramas just fine.

Still crashes with both flags set (64 bit and the attempt fix): /usr/bin/google-earth: Zeile 17: 6431 Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreeimage.so.3:./baifaao.so:/usr/lib/libpng15.so LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./googleearth-bin "$@" "Speicherzugriffsfehler" means "memory access error" and "Speicherabzug geschrieben" means "written dump".

It pretty much either works with those two options or it doesn't. There's also the previous Google Earth in AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-earth6/

Hi, I re-installed google-earth with the attempt fix flag set to 1 and then when I try displaying a image it crashes with a message "Google Earth has caught signal 11." in the console and a crash log like follows: Major Version 7 Minor Version 1 Build Number 0002 Build Date Oct 7 2013 Build Time 12:17:02 OS Type 3 OS Major Version 3 OS Minor Version 16 OS Build Version 3 OS Patch Version 0 Crash Signal 11 Crash Time 1412788931 Up Time 25,8312 Stacktrace from glibc: ./libgoogleearth_free.so(+0x1e8d0b)[0xf7067d0b] ./libgoogleearth_free.so(+0x1e8f41)[0xf7067f41] linux-gate.so.1(__kernel_sigreturn+0x0)[0xf77c4d70] /usr/lib32/qt/plugins/imageformats/libqjpeg.so(+0x2aed)[0xed7afaed] /usr/lib32/libQtWebKit.so.4(+0xbe7138)[0xf51c2138] /usr/lib32/libQtWebKit.so.4(+0xbe71aa)[0xf51c21aa] Any ideas, please? Thank you.

You should have a look at the first lines in the PKGBUILD. It explains it all.
