first things first :^)
You need to use rpms build for your distro and version or you will
cause yourself much grief and may break your system.
there is gtkpod available for 10.3 (you didn't indicate arch)
commandline:> webpin -d 10.3 gtkpod
* gtkpod: A platform independent GUI for the Apple? iPod?
- 0.99.10 [suse-oss{ppc} | packman{src}]
@ http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/repo/oss/suse
@ http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.3
I did not look at the difference

well, you cannot install software *unless* locally, ie: in your home
directory. You need to be root.

well rpm packages are not by themselves executable, they consist of a
package of files to be installed by another program.

it opened the file/package and decided that it was not capable of
handling the operation and closed.

as root
rpm -i <package-name.rpm>
or better as you would not want two versions of the same package
installed (if it accidentally was possible)
rpm -Uvh <package-name.rpm>
or better yet especially with regard to your apparent comfort level,
use YaST2 to find and install the package for you, again root
privileges are required.
clear as mudddd????
