I haven't bookmarked it, so I'd have to go digging. you should be able to
find it at google by digging around for google's user forums. if you can't
find it post here and I'll go digging.

I am not running the new Linux binary of Google Earth, so I probably
can't help much. All I can say is the one I"m running doesn't do
what you describe.

Now, the prior version (that I"m using) is horribly broken in several
ways, and google left it in that state for years. however there is
a large forum thread (more than one, actually) where one guy gives
a TON of  helpful information on how to hack at it to make it work,
including some tweaks to make it work on Fedora (which also happen to
work on centos-7, which I use.) So, you may find it helpful to find
that thread and revert to the prior version (if you can find it).

Good luck!

Is it a bug? Is there something to configure?

Thank you.




If you haven't already noticed, that corresponds to the point defined by

0 deg Latitude, 0 deg Longitude.  Google 'Null Island" for some laughs.

So it would seem that your instance of Googleearth is dropping zeroes

instead of the correct lat and lon for a geographic place.

Sorry, that's the limit of my diagnostic skills

In the search box of Google Earth I type "Paris, France" and pick it and it 
goes directly
there.

FWIW, I have my Starting Location set to a point in Taipei, Taiwan.

No! This is not the problem I have: when I open googleearth, it centers
on France which is a good choice if it tries first to take my location
from IP address.

*But* if I search a location, say Paris, it goes in the Atlantic ocean,
south of the Ivory coast.

I believe that GoogleEarth tries to detect your location and default to there.  
If it cannot do it by any other means I think it takes the location from your 
IP address.

If those libraries were linked the normal way, by having ld.so set
them up when Google Earth launched, the missing libraries would have
prevented it from launching at all.  You wouldn't have gotten any kind
of crash, it just wouldn't execute.

My guess is that the missing libraries are normally loaded manually,
that is, with some of Google Earth's own code calling the dynamic
library manipulation functions and setting up the link itself.  That's
usually done to enable one to choose one of several alternative
libraries, or to add extra features that don't come built in.  Native
web browser plugins are handled that way too.

If that were the case, quite likely the reason that you got the
segfault is that that manual link failed completely because the
libraries were not to be found, but with the client code that expected
those libraries to be linked failing to check if the library load was
successful.

If my theory is correct, then Google needs a bug report.  I don't have
a clue how you'd file one.  But then, as they say, WHAT NOW is your
friend?
