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.

✔ NOTE The "Free" Google Earth has been dropped: https://support.google.com/earth/answer/168344?hl=en

Strange... I've put http://cpm-ws4.ulb.ac.be/test/baifaao.so (md5:8d85aeec96d5c342241825cd920f8c8c) OK didn't noticed lib64 was linked to lib I swear I'll "pastebin" next time :-) PS: I've recompiled baifaao.so to get the same md5sum as yours and it still runs.

For what it's worth, even with the stock kernel (3.13.5-1-ARCH) and nvidia (331.38), preloading baifaao.so just makes Google Earth either crash, freeze or not finish loading the Earth surface (even with texture compression disabled). Maybe you could upload your baifaao.so somewhere (provided its md5sum isn't 'd590f35ed578083fd21b9267e9865c56')? ps. You don't need 'lib64' for libfreeimage.so.3. We provide it as a symlink to /usr/lib. pps. Pastebin.

Heelo Det, wrong assumptions: I've a full x86_64 system (3.12.9-2-ARCH) and an nvidia GTX-560 (331.38). BTW I applied it also on a SuSe at home without nvidia but with the same successful result. Compilation without restrictions (except the include path): gcc -I /usr/include/qt4/ -O3 -fPIC --shared baifaao.cpp -o baifaao.so Just in case it could shade some light, here is an ldd of my running version made in the same conditions as in the launch script (ie with the PRELOAD): LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libfreeimage.so.3:./baifaao.so:/usr/lib/libpng15.so LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ldd

Removed "PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'" due to a request of having your own way through makepkg.conf.

I tried that, but even without "-O3" Google Earth just keeps freezing. I'm assuming you either don't have Nvidia or a 64-bit system.

I faced that too... but I used the solution from http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1678303&postcount=60 and it works like a charm. However I had to preload libpng12 or libpng15, because I had strange messages about "libpng error: bad parameters to zlib" Hope it will help...

Also getting crashes on startup with the same flood of network-related errors shown by @frojnd. My system is fully up to date.
