from http://www.ubun2.info/2010/10/how-to-install-google-earth-in-ubuntu.html?showComment=1287937450936

nstalling Google Earth in Ubuntu Maverick is very simple. For Ubuntu Maverick 64 bit users,they need to install the dependance package: ia32-libs and lib32nss-mdns.

Open up a terminal window from Applications -> Accessories menu and run:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32nss-mdns

After the installation of ia32-libs and lib32nss-mdns complete.
Then install googleearth-package from the default repository using this command:
sudo apt-get install googleearth-package

Then run the command:
make-googleearth-package --force

it will take a moment and finally generate a deb package.
Install the deb by the command (change the package name to yours):
sudo dpkg -i googleearth.deb

Finally,launch Google Earth from Applications – > Internet menu.
