The person is Reinhard Max.  The SuSE RPMs are considerably different from the
RPMs that I produce; my RPMs are pretty well inoperable on SuSE.  You would
need to get the SuSE 9.0 7.4 SOURCE RPM, edit its spec file for 7.4.1, and
rebuild it using the 7.4.1 tarball.  Then you can install those binary RPMS.
I have no SuSE machines on which to build, so I am unable to do so.  The
contact e-mail is in the source RPM's spec file.
