We apologize for the inconvenience, but Google Earth has crashed. This is a bug in the program, and should never happen under normal circumstances. A bug report and debugging data have been written to this text file: /usr/home/user/.googleearth/crashlogs/crashlog-598f309c.txt Please include this file if you submit a bug report to Google.
This is a linux closed-source program not officially supported on FreeBSD. It is broken for years. It should probably be deleted a unfixable.
Agreed. Could you remove it from freshports?
It works just fine here and I use it to test Linux OpenGL support, so please don't remove it.
(In reply to Tijl Coosemans from comment #3) Ok, Thanks!
Everybody who reports whether google-earth works for you or not, please show output of `uname -rp`. Mine is 11.1-RELEASE-p7 i386, google-earth 7.1.7 (installed from ports) crashes at start (signal 11). I had older version of google-earth working under 8.4-RELEASE i386. Under 8.4 i386, with `pkg create` I got google-earth-7.1.5.1557,3.txz Under 11.1 i386, I tried `pkg add -f`, it complained of missed dependency linux-c6-cyrus-sasl2 though package for security/linux-c6-cyrus-sasl2 was already installed (under changed name linux-c6-cyrus-sasl-lib). Then I used pkg add -fM google-earth-7.1.5.1557,3.txz It gave 2 warnings (wrong architecture and missed dependency linux-c6-cyrus-sasl2) but installed the package, and it works under 11.1 i386. Whew. If somebody needs the package: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uPcdMYF9OrYbWCGbOOgcE5NQepNcudrs/
It's clearly not a distro architecture dependent issue (amd64 here). Unless specified otherwise - tickets always assume latest stable version of FreeBSD and latest available port/package (port in this case).
When the older package google-earth-7.1.5.1557,3.txz I linked above works, in Help menu - About it reports Google Earth version 6.0.3, build date 5/13/2011. But it's better than nothing. "Historical imagery" works.
After security kernel update r338603 https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-all/2018-September/170051.html the binary file /usr/local/share/google-earth/googleearth-bin from the package I uploaded must be patched: at offsets 0x64 and 0x68 bytes 0x11 must be changed to 0x13 . It's length (including the final zero-byte) of the string (at offset 0x134) with the path to the program interpreter "/lib/ld-linux.so.2".
