How to install Google-Earth 64bit in Ubuntu 13.10, ia32-libs Dependency error

rated 0 times [ 34] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 56876 / 2 Years ago, fri, september 23, 2022, 1:58:54

I want to install Google-Earth & it requires ia32-libs.
So, I did apt-get install ia32-libs but error pops as:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

  lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0

How can I install ia32-libs?

This is only a workaround until Google Earth is repackaged.

Google Earth Build Package

Download Google Earth x64 .DEB

Open Terminal, Copy & Paste Following Command And Press Enter
```
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 lsb-core
```

Open Downloads Folder

Right Click On Google Earth .deb package & Select Extract Here

Open the folder where files are extracted.

Open the DEBIAN Folder

Open the control file with gedit

Remove this whole Line: Depends: lsb-core (>= 3.2), ia32-libs

Now Click Save, & Exit Control File

Now Delete The Original Google Earth .DEB Package You Downloaded

Create A Folder called getfix, Now Move The Extracted Google Earth Folder Into The getfix Folder

Now we Are Going To Rebuild The Google Earth .deb Package:

Open Terminal, copy/paste the following command then press Enter:
```
dpkg -b ~/Downloads/getfix/google-earth-stable_current_amd64
```

Copy/paste the following command (this will install the repackaged .deb)

sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/getfix/google-earth-stable_current_amd64.deb
