How to install google chrome onto SLES 11 SP3

[hatelove85911]

I’m used to google chrome, so I want it on my company pc which has SLES 11 SP3 installed. When I try to install it, I get following issues:

[HTML]Problem: google-chrome-stable-43.0.2357.125-1.x86_64 requires libX11.so.6()(64bit), but this requirement cannot be provided
uninstallable providers: xorg-x11-libX11-7.4-5.9.1.x86_64[SLES11-SP3-Pool]
Solution 1: do not install google-chrome-stable-43.0.2357.125-1.x86_64
Solution 2: break google-chrome-stable-43.0.2357.125-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies[/HTML]

The problem is:
I can see package: xorg-x11-libX11 is installed in yast2, version is 7.4-5.11.11.1.

And I can see libX11.so.6 is sitting in /usr/lib64/,

[HTML]libX11.so
libX11.so.6
libX11.so.6.2.0[/HTML]
Why is chrome still telling me libX11.so.6()(64bit) can’t be provided?

And what does uninstallable providers: xorg-x11-libX11-7.4-5.9.1.x86_64[SLES11-SP3-Pool] mean? From what I see the version already installed: 7.4-5.11.11.1 is already higher than the version it requires.

SLES is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server - for a workstation I’d expect you
to be running SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED). Please can you
confirm that you’re running SLES by posting the output from “cat
/etc/*release”.

Where did you download the Google Chrome package from? It’s not one
provided with or by SUSE and therefore not supported. Replacing X
windows-related packages in SLEx is not a good idea.
