Flash Player Square (stealthily) updated recently
by Kevin Cummings
Seems Adobe/Macromedia has released an update to their flash players
recently, without announcing that they also released an update to their
64 Linux players as well. You can visit this page:
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html
for the actual library.
While the page still claims to be preview 2 released on 9/25/2010,
the file linked to for 64 bit Linux has changed to:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/flashplayer10_2_p3_...
The date on the libflashplayer.so in this archive is 11/16/10.
I am waiting for a particular regression to be fixed, and it is not yet
fixed in this release.
The lack of acknowledgment from Adobe/Macromedia distresses me. But it
is their business decision to do so.

64-bit Google Earth won't install
by Patrick O'Callaghan
F14 fully updated. I tried installing the latest Google Earth 64-bit
tarball (version 6.0.0.1735) and got this:
$ sudo sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Google Earth for GNU/Linux 6.0.0.1735..............................................................
./setup.sh: setup.data/bin/Linux/amd64/setup.gtk2: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
I've seen this "bad Elf interpreter" message in other contexts, but can
simply never remember what it means (something about 32-bit binary on a
64-bit system I think). Any pointers welcome.
