[SOLVED] Can't start googleearth - caught signal 6

I've just installed google-earth from aur. The installation went fine but I can't start it.
I've already read package comments and search forum but it seems that no one else had this problem.

$ googleearth
googleearth-bin: xcb_io.c:549: _XRead: Assertion `dpy->xcb->reply_data != ((void *)0)' failed.
Google Earth has caught signal 6.
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:

Whoa! Only hit on google and then an arch user too. big_smile
Sounds promising. But reinstalling did not help for me... I use bin32-google-earth from AUR. What did you use?

Yes, bin32-google-earth from AUR.
Actually my problem was that I tried to change googleearth's default location, but it must have something hardcoded to the default location.
When I wiped it all and reinstalled with no changes it did worked.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't start googleearth - caught signal 6

I don't remember if at that time I was using catalyst.
I've made some tries with it, but decided for the open ati driver.
Which is what I'm using today.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't start googleearth - caught signal 6

Hm, and googleearth (3D) works well with it?!
How about KDE compositing? Maybe I'll give it a try.

(I just installed my first AMD/ATI card since the X700 was released tongue )

Re: [SOLVED] Can't start googleearth - caught signal 6

I don't hava google-earth installed directly anymore.
I use it only for geotagging in picasa, so i run it under wine with picasa (no 3D, I don't really care).
I've never used KDE, but compositing works fine here in XFCE.
