libcurl.3.dylib and Google Earth

Tags:

Nov. 22nd 2008 in software        

I just installed Google Earth on my mac. It went smooth, the software was installed under Applications but when I launched it I got this:

The application Google Earth quit unexpectedly.

Hit the Report button and got:

Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libcurl.3.dylib 
Referenced from:
      /Applications/Google Earth.app/Contents/MacOS/libge_net.dylib

Reason: image not found

I actually upgraded libcurl a while ago and to 7.19.0 and I now only have /usr/lib/libcurl4.dylib libcurl.3.dylib version is gone. 

The solution I found was to create libcurl.3.dylib by adding a symlink like this:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib /usr/lib/libcurl.3.dylib

Now Google Earth works just fine. On to find fame using the couch potato version of Indiana Jones: armchair archeology.
