If these can't be satisified by packages within SuSE itself then the RPM is 
probably built for use in another distribution which uses different (hence 
incompatible) package names. The packages listed are all common Linux/GNOME 
components which should definately be part of the SuSE distribution under 
some form.

All of the above are standard components of GNOME. On Fedora, which I'm more 
familiar with, they all have the prefix gnome-python2-. I suspect that 
gnomerfs may be a typo for gnomevfs.

These two libraries are part of OpenSSL (package name openssl on Fedora), 
which should be a standard component of SuSE too (and of most general purpose 
desktop or server Linux distributions). Version 0.9.7 or higher should do the 
trick.

A good tactic would be to do a search on http://www.rpmfind.net/. In your 
case, in which all the packages are probably included in the standard 
distribution under different names, you could then use this knowledge to 
figure out what to install.

This is why Debian's packaging/distribution system is a Good Thing(TM).
