Segmentation Fault in Google Earth

After installing google earth, i have this error in the console:
Segmentation fault

and in syslog, i find this error:
Jul 6 16:52:48 garu-laptop kernel: [60493.971012] googleearth-bin[25482]: segfault at ceb30e34 ip 00000000f5f0fce6 sp 00000000ff807a68 error 6 in libGL.so.180.51[f5eaa000+8d000]
And from this site, i found the answer.

In the terminal, go to the directory where you installed your google earth. In my case i went to /home/garu/google-earth
cd /home/garu/google-earth
then, create a symlink to libGL.so.1.2. while you're in the directory where you installed google-earth, type the following
ln -s /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1
Try google earth now, and all should be fine.
