Google earth 6 in Fedora 14 64-bit

Today I tried to start google-earth for Fedora. It would not start using the menu shortcut under Applicationa -> Internet.

And starting it using the command-line gave this error message:

$ google-earth
/usr/bin/google-earth: ./googleearth-bin: /lib/ld-lsb.so.3: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

I thought installing google-earth was supposed to be easy.
Anyway, the application will start if you make a soft link from ld-2.13.so in the same folder, to the missing file.

$ cd /lib
$ su
# ln -s ld-2.13.so ld-lsb.so.3

Ugly stuff though, but it works!
