I’ve made some rpm’s to make it easier for you to install on openSUSE (and other RPM variations):

The files are located here:
i386:
http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/openSUSE/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.197.11-1.i386.rpm
x86_64:
http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/openSUSE/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.197.11-1.x86_64.rpm

You can install using:
x86_64:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/openSUSE/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.197.11-1.x86_64.rpm

i386:
sudo rpm -Uvh http://www.benkevan.com/upload/software/openSUSE/google-chrome-unstable-3.0.197.11-1.i386.rpm

Note: If you get dependency errors please add --nodeps

Due to popular demand I’ve included the symlinks in the build of the rpm package (I’ve tested the 32-bit but not the 64 bit).

Changes:For 64-Bit I have linked the required libraries previously needed by the 32-Bit libgconf-2 packages to the libraries in /opt/google/chrome/lib32. However, I do not have a 64-bit machine to test on, so can someone please test and comment?

If the above rpm installs, but does not run because of a missing library, you can run the following commands:
for i in libsmime3.so libnssutil3.so libnss3.so libssl3.so; do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$i /usr/lib/$i.1d; done
and
for i in libplds4.so libplc4.so libnspr4.so ; do sudo ln -s /usr/lib/$i /usr/lib/$i.0d; done

Also within this build I did a post script to include PARTIAL flash support (assuming your flash is installed as /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libflashplayer.so) If you have other locations please let me know, and I can change this and look for the file prior to linking it, but too lazy for now).

You can start google chrome with flash support using:
google-chrome --enable-plugins

NOTE: I will try to get this into Build Service when I have a change to take a peek how Build Service works.. I have quite a busy life.. so I’m hoping some time next week.. that will do..
