Which distro are you using? If you downloaded the RPMS from somewhere,
then did you get the RPMs meant for your distro only?

AFAIK, in OpenSuSE10.3, GNOME's prefix has been moved from /opt/gnome
to /usr/. So my best guess is that either you are using a RPM not
meant for your distro, or the package maintainer hasn't updated the
post-install scripts correctly.

Hope this helps.
