Some Red Hat
Package Managers (RPMs) might not recognize the underlying Linux release
on your machine. If you attempt to install these RPM files on your system,
the installation might fail.
Solution
RPMs require a specific
Linux version in the /etc/SuSE-release file for the installation
to succeed on your system.
Change to a version of Linux that
the RPM recognizes, for example SuSE Linux 8.1 (i386) Version=8.1
