Did you install the x86_64 google-earth or the x86 (32-bit version)?

To update the slocate library, as root run 'updatedb'
This command is run automatically if you leave the PC on overnight.

Alternatively, try on x86_64
ls -l /usr/lib64/libGLU*

Also you can check
ldd /opt/google/earth/pro/libevllpro.so |grep libGLU

and 'should' see
libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libGLU.so.1

If you see
libGLU.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGLU.so.1
then that is your answer.

If libs and symlinks are missing, reinstall glu-9.0.0-x86_64 package.
