I think it should be able to resolve all "external" libs via standard path.

You probably need to install 32-bit versions of a lot more libs, like Qt 
and the basic X11 stuff. The real problem here is that libraries used is 
not listed in the package requirements. Not to mention the fact that the 
so-called 64-bit package actually contains 32-bit binaries. Or at least, 
that's the case for the one I have - 
google-earth-stable-7.0.2.8415-0.x86_64.
