Google Earth cannot be installed with package-manager because its license doesn't allow anyone to distribute it freely. But you can still install it by following these instructions:

The easy way

Add the following source to your Package Manager

Name: pardususer.de
Address: http://pakete.pardususer.de/pardus-2009/pisi-index.xml.bz2

in console with: sudo pisi ar pardususer.de http://pakete.pardususer.de/pardus-2009/pisi-index.xml.bz2 -y

Installation

GoogleEarth can now be installed in Package Manager (after doing a "Show Upgradable Packages").

It is necessary to be connected to the internet as some additional files will be downloaded by the installation script.

From Google Earth website

1. Download Google Earth from http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html
2. Right click downloaded file and select Properties
3. Select Executable check box in Permissions tab
4. Click OK button then double click (or right-click > Open) the file to run Google Earth installer
5. This will install Google Earth in your home folder and put an icon in KDE menu
6. To repair a bug in Google Earth go to the directory /home/your_username/google-earth and remove the file libcrypto.so.0.9.8
