It really depends on your system and how to solve it. Also, your graphic
driver install might fiddle around with libGL (NVIdia installer is known
to do so).

Is GL generally running on your system? Simple tests could be:
glxinfo => Does this show all 0s? Then it's bad
Andredo@linux-e2ov:~> glxinfo
name of display: :0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions:
OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2
OpenGL extensions:
0x21 24 tc 0 32 0 r y . 8 8 8 8 0 24 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 None
0x22 24 dc 0 32 0 r y . 8 8 8 8 0 24 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 None
This is bad.. as expected

glxinfo | grep direct => Does this show direct Rendering = yes?
Yes
glxgears => A simple test animation. Should still be smooth on full
screen.
Yes
Google earth might just be one of the tools hinting at an entire problem
of your system.

What does "zypper verify" tell you?
Dependencies are fullfilled
Odd... but then still: the above indicates that something messed with
your open GL Setup. Based on the fact that you're running on an intel
chip, this is slightly weird IMHO.

Please try to re-install the Mesa package
zypper install --force Mesa
This should re-install the Mesa package and hopefully fix this for you.

I did and the result was that googleearth did not start and the last lines of glxinfo was:
0xa7 24 dc 0 24 0 r y . 8 8 8 0 0 24 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 None
0xa8 24 dc 0 24 0 r y . 8 8 8 0 0 24 8 16 16 16 0 0 0 Slow
0xa9 24 dc 0 32 0 r y . 8 8 8 8 0 24 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 None
0xaa 24 dc 0 32 0 r y . 8 8 8 8 0 24 8 16 16 16 16 0 0 Slow
0x5d 32 tc 0 32 0 r y . 8 8 8 8 0 24 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 None
Yet much thanks for your guidance!!
