I use Linux too (Mint specifically). If Google Earth is giving you a "43: ./googleearth-bin: not found" error, try running
Code:
sudo apt-get install lsb-core
and see if that helps. Dunno why Google doesn't make this a dependency.

Quote from a Google Maps help thread:
I managed to import a GPX file directly to my maps, I think it is quite a recent change. I just used the "Import" menu in My Maps and supplied a GPX file istead of a KML file. It just worked!
I have not had success with this; Google Maps gives me a "Couldn't finish" error. I don't know what exactly is up with this.
