在Fedora 13 下下载了官方的GoogleEarth后无法启动，出现如下错误：
========================================================================
[root@YWX download]# googleearth

Google Earth has caught signal 11.
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

Google了好久， 终于找到解决办法：
vi ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf
找到类似如下语句：
lastTip=9
在其后添加如下语句：
enableTips=false
----------------------------------------
字面意思好像是“不启用提示”， 对使用应该没有什么影响， 没办法，凑合着用了。
P.S.
Linux 下 修改 Google Earth 的默认缓存和KMLPath目录方法：
==========================================
# vi ~/.config/Google/GoogleEarthPlus.conf
相应修改 CachePath 和 KMLPath 字段的值即可
