I will not update (for now) to the latest version 7.3.6.9326 because it crashes continuously for me.

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.

Well, suggestions wouldn't really help with this particular problem, but in this case, yes, getting that dependency included was a beneficial thing to do. It's just the way you brought it up that wasn't. "needs (lib32-)glu" instead of the error message that already tells you what the problem is again would have saved time for me, although you did actually even solve the problem yourself. So useless? No, but annoyingly reminding me of all the other problems that _didn't_ benefit my package? Yeah.

TheWretched commented on 2013-10-11 23:24 (UTC)

Yeah, well in this case it's now in the pkgbuild and probably should have been in the first place as a dependency so if you feel that was a useless comment to bring it up then I'm not really sure what to suggest to you at this point.

"[...] combined with snotty why don't you figure it out yourself answers." I understand that and I know exactly how incredibly annoying times like these can be, but the fact is that this is simply what our own perspective has come to be. It's not a sweet fruit for us maintainers either having time and time again answer questions that had already been answered enough times before and/or that would have been so blatantly easy to just figure out yourself. The incessant flow of e-mail notifications doesn't really help either. And I'm not from the worst end either. Though I'm not in a position in this whole Linux community to make anybody "SHUT THE FUCK UP" like Linus Torvalds[1], I do still easily descend to these snotty responses I myself used to sigh at. And I still sigh at them whenever it's me and not somebody else. So, yes, that makes me a hypocrite, but no, it doesn't make me change my habits. I would rather have people spend 2 hours searching for a simple answer that is like shit to them rather than asking here. Because that's me and I've reached my end for these things.

One man's definition of easy is not necessarily equal to another. And things often seem easier in retrospect than they do when you don't know what the heck is going on yet. Also no I didn't know about the "site feature" of google until now.

Det commented on 2013-10-11 20:35 (UTC)

@Superpiffer, 7.1.2.2019 is not yet for Linux.

Det commented on 2013-10-11 19:27 (UTC)

In such easy cases it's even more redundant to come here and ask first :). A lot of people don't know about the "site:" feature in Google: https://www.google.fi/search?&q=site%3Aarchlinux.org+libGLU.so.1. It helps when you don't want to get flooded with e.g. Debian related suggestions.

TheWretched commented on 2013-10-11 18:14 (UTC)

The problem I usually have with google is getting flooded with debian related suggestions that may or may not even be helpful. Particularly with google earth it's usually pages and pages of people snarkily telling people to go install the official 32 bit .deb and shut up. Actually in my case I figured out what I was missing faster with pacman -Ss than I did with google. Nevertheless... the 32bit build seems to finally solve all my arch related google-earth headaches, (knock on wood). Finally nice clean fonts even with infinality and it doesn't crash 98% of the time like the 64 bit. Really google earth is the bane of my existence, because I need to include it for our sales staff machines, otherwise I would cast it off to hell where it belongs and never look at it again.

You need lib32-glu (Google is your friend too). Added to the PKGBUILD. rtfreedman can start posting his diffs again.
