How do you link Google calendar to iCal in Maverick?

Question

Just downloaded Maverick (great) to my late 2008 aluminium laptop but cannot link Google Calendar with iCal.  In iCal tried deleting old account and re-entering but still iCal does not sync, although it still does on iPad and iPhone.  Any ideas?

Hi there,
I have tested this out on my backup disk and there is a slight modification to the method. Will highlight this with quotation.
================================================================================ ==
It appears that once upgraded to Mavericks, the calendar folders are no longer compatible with the latest version of iCal. Hence why it crashes.
To remediate,
Close the iCal App
Duplicate the folder (For Backup reason)     /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
Delete all content with in      /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar
Go to:-
System Prefences | Internet Account | iCloud
Uncheck Calendars, Recheck Calendars
Select the iCloud profile
Press "-" to delete the whole iCloud profile.
Recreate the iCloud profile by select "+" then iCloud
Enter your iCloud Username and Password
It will asked you if you wish to merge the database. (You may have to do this more then once)
For every other google calendar
Uncheck Calendars (if already checked), Recheck Calendars
Hopefully this will recreate all the calender folders within /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar and start re-syncing.
Once you are satified that all your calender are syncing, delete the /Users/YOURPROFILE/Library/Calendar copy
Good Luck.
