I am running Ubuntu 12.04. As you might know Google Earth 7 doesn't work in Ubuntu 12.04 yet.
I installed Google Earth via make-googleearth-package --force
command. My installation was successful. At the beginning everything was working fine. But after some days I had a problem. When I type in "Fly to" box a city I wanted to search for it. It gives me "invalid HTTP request" error as seen in the picture:
How to solve?

This is due to an old libcurl version, that seems to cause the trouble. If you already have libcurl on your system (and I am pretty sure Ubuntu 12.04 has), you can simply rename the libcurl coming with Google Earth like this:
And the problem should be gone (the path in my Linux Mint and probably other distributions is
/opt/google/earth/free/libcurl.so.4
).
