You are trying to install a source rpm, that doesn’t work.
You’d need to compile it first, via “rpmbuild --rebuild xxx.rpm” e.g. and then install the resulting binary packages.
libappindicator is included in the distribution though, so better install that.
Either:
sudo zypper in libappindicator1
or
sudo zypper in libappindicator3-1
depending on which version you need, the 1 is for gtk2, the 3-1 is for gtk3. (if in doubt, install both)
Thank you for your swift response, it would seem installing from the app Image is a better idea. It shows promise but needs work.
