This softmaker rpm package is a corner case that represents a very teeny fraction of the software you install. You should still use YaST whenever possible. For this app however, you will need to use zypper. Please do not use rpm.
This is definitely a corner case. Out of curiosity, I downloaded the rpm, copy the payload to a temp dir to take a look at it. It is terribly packaged for a rpm that is meant for multiple distros. The software is installed into the /usr hierarchy and relies on system libraries. I run ldd against the binaries on my Tumbleweed system and everything was OK. However, it might not work with Leap that have older libraries. They should have included everything and install into the /opt hierarchy. Charles
