> Speaking of the subject... I didn't file an official bug report since I'm 
> busy and don't have the time to further investigate it more deeply, but: 
> I have this HUGE kmz file (a 17+3 stories building, with all the details 
> such as door handles and window frames) that I modeled in VectorWorks, 
> imported into SkecthUp5 (the retail version) and exported to the kmz 
> format.
>
> Testing with the official RC3, the file imports OK on Windows XP, but 
> fails giving a missing library error on Linux.  Both machines have a full 
> (and working) Python 2.4 install.

> Sorry for this totally bogus report, I promise will post a proper report 
> later on (with the offending kmz file, of course).

>> I will try to get an update on this situation asap.
