[***SOLVED***] Google Earth

I tried today to Install Google Earth from the Google Sources.

[jada@arch-01 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@arch-01 jada]# cd /home/jada/install
[root@arch-01 install]# ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin
bash: ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin: Permission denied

Permission denied ?

What did I make wrong?

Re: [***SOLVED***] Google Earth

make it executable ? (chmod +x GoogleEarthLinux.bin)

[edit]
Why not use the AUR package?

Re: [***SOLVED***] Google Earth

Thank's @pressh & @Fackamato

The "work around" I got from here !

Root doesn't have permission to connect to your X server.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X.org#Allo … r_su.27ing:

Allow root to start X applications after su'ing:

File: /etc/profile

export XAUTHORITY="${HOME}/.Xauthority"

Thank's all
