Are you using Kubuntu 8.04 as an operating system?  Also are you using 
KDE 4?  I have those as my operating system and desktop and downloaded 
GoogleEarth using Adept Package Manager.  It works perfectly.  If you 
are using a different operating system or desktop it helps to know.  I 
couldn't get Ktorrent to work until I upgraded to KDE4.  Now everything 
works great.  I haven't used it long enough to find if there are any 
bugs that I am not used to, but so far it works perfect.  The package 
libnss-mdns is not in Adept Package Manager unless it is a part of the 
GoggleEarth package which I suspect it is.  If you are using Microsoft 
Windows, it is a different OS, and I am not too familiar with it.  
Additionally, sometimes other Linux OS's have a program called Synaptic 
Package Manager; if you have that program and operate using Linux, you 
can download GoogleEarth using it, and I believe it will provide all 
dependencies that are needed to run the program.  I am sorry I can't 
help you any better, my experience is not extensive.
