I found an amazingly simple solution to this. See this post.

So the rpm doesn't work. You have to use the tarball with the installer.

RPM works just fine as long as you use the command line interface (not Yast RPM installer).

Now if only Firefox could fix the Flash Player glitch where the flash player shows on top of everything else. Konqueror doesnt do this, only Firefox.

Thanks!

You would have thought the fact it wanted to install the beagle extension would have alerted me to do the same. Especially after running locate firefox.

Thanks for the info.

The rpm (both the main prog and the translations downloaded) worked fine for me except for the problem highlighted above.
