It is indeed called that when you download it. Unfortunately, I was a bit too lazy to copy and paste the file name again, after I had copied the error message. So, I did user rpmrebuild, per your suggestion, and it ended up creating google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64.rpm and it installed without a hitch. Thanx Ed!!! Nice tool, which should be included in the package rpmdevtools-8.4-2.fc20.noarch but it is not. So, it turns out that google renames the rpm file from google-earth-stable-7.1.2.2041-0.x86_64.rpm to google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm when they release it.
