I thought the downloaded file was called google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm.....

Anyway, the way I've gotten this to work is to use "rpmrebuild".

rpmrebuild -ep google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

When "vi" comes up find the line....

%dir %attr(0755, root, root) "/usr/bin"

And then delete it and :wq! followed by "y" and a new rpm will be written out for you to used.
