You can install using:

i386:

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).

I added Requires: gconf2-32bit in the .spec file for RPM’s, but again I wasn’t able to test it since I do not have access to a 64-Bit Box (I’m cheap.. I know.. I can’t afford a new box).. Please someone test and let me know if all worked fine.

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: Once I get the .spec to work correctly and install the required 32-bit gconf2 packages, then I will go ahead and start the build service.. so please someone test and let me know if it works. I’ll need some pointers with this.. as I’m not sure of the package name.. and I don’t have a x86_64 box available.. right now.

Note: Sorry for the delay.. I actually purchased my first house and was moving for the last 5 days.. boy do I ever hate moving
