Not sure what you mean by "refuses to mount".



I downloaded it and tried to install on a Fedora 9 system.

Installation went fine.  However when it starts, after the

initial splash screen and the "tip of the day" (functional

in that I can look at multiple tips), the program (google-

earth) hangs with a blank white screen.
