I thought the downloaded file was called google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm..... Anyway, the way I've gotten this to work is to use "rpmrebuild". rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm When "vi" comes up find the line.... %dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/bin" And then delete it and :wq! followed by "y" and a new rpm will be written out for you to used. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.
