Run....
rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
Which will bring up an editor, delete the line
%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/bin"
save and quit and a new rpm will be written that can be installed.
I'm having some trouble with this. Here's a log of what happens:
$ rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
<vi appears; I edit the text on the screen as advised>
Do you want to continue ? (y/N) y

The rebuilt google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm is untouched. I
could force installation using rpm, but then a large number of
dependencies would have to be installed.
What to do?
