I added browser chrome by Yast to my system. But it does not start, only a bouncing icon and then nothing. What could be wrong.

I have not been using Chrome, but decided to install it when you indicated you were having a problem. I installed 13.0.767 from YaST using the openSUSE contrib repository. Are you trying to use the same version from the same repository as I? Chrome does load and seems to work OK, at least under openSUSE 11.4 and a 64 bit configuration.
Thank You,
Most probably a missing library, open a terminal and type
google-chrome
post the output here, it should contain an error message which tells what is
missing.

I guess you installed chromium, it is not exatly the same as chrome.

OK then, now I have Chrome and Chromium. I did not find Chrome in a YaST repository, but downloaded it from Google. It says it is version 11.0.696.68 and does seem to work as well.
Thank You,

That only means that all libraries needed by chrome on your machine were
simply already there.
I still wait for the OP to report back, what the error message is.

The error message on a clean system is
opensuse@linux-1jha:~> google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing libpng12-0 solves that.

Hello martin_helm. So I do have libpng12-0 installed along with several other libpng files. What might have installed these automatically for me, do you know?
Thank You,

Honestly no idea what else needs them on your system
I just remebered that one dependency for chrome was broken (means it did not
install that package if it was not already there) but I did not remeber
which one.
Looking at my real system (not the virtual machine I used for the test) I
see that for example the qt3 libs require the old libpng12.

Well I tried from Google first and downloaded rpm file:
I get this:
richard@openSUSE:~> google-chrome
/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So this libpng-thing is missing ?
BTW doing a find shows the file is present on some locations:
/usr/lib/libpng14.so.14.4.0
/usr/lib/libpng14.so.14
/usr/lib64/vlc/plugins/codec/libpng_plugin.so
/usr/lib64/libpng14.so.14.4.0
/usr/lib64/libpng14.so.14
/home/richard/.mozilla/firefox/v30c4wak.richard/extensions/VMwareVMRC@vmware.com/plugins/lib/libpng12.so.0
/home/richard/.mozilla/firefox/v30c4wak.richard/extensions/VMwareVMRC@vmware.com/plugins/lib/libpng12.so.0/libpng12.so.0
/home/richard/.dropbox-dist/libpng12.so.0
SO probably I have to add it in some Chrome-dir also ??
ritslinux, if I go to YaST and search on libpng12, where I find it installed and go to the file list, here is where it says they are loaded.
/usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0
/usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0.44.0
2 files total
If it then makes a different just as martin_helm says and you installed libpng12 version 1.2.44 in YaST / Software / Software Management from the openSUSE-11.4-Oss repository, it should go into the same place as mine and then presumable work with Chrome.
Thank You,

As I wrote before: Simply install the package libpng12-0 with yast or zypper
to solve that.

go to the Path of google chrome package。run termial
sudo zypper in thepackagename
and maybe can run google-chrome
I had the same problem… installed the 64 bi rpm from the Google site… but Chrome wouldn’t launch. Confirming that installing libpng12-0 through YaST did solve the problem.
Try
sudo zypper in libpng12-*
Then install
libpng12-compat-devel
