So, I decided to try installing GoogleEarth (GE) for the first time ever. I found the following:
http://fedora18tutorial.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-install-google-earth-on-...
and tried it the following:
% wget -c http://dl.google.com/dl/earth/client/current/google-earth-stable_current_x86...
%sudo yum localinstall google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm
But I got the following:
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin from install of google-earth-stable-7.1.1.1871-0.x86_64 conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64
Error Summary -------------
Any way around it?
Many thanks, Ranjan

Thanks, I was not aware of this. Never really read yum's manpages much.
But I got the following:

man 8 rpm man 1 xdg-desktop-menu
I guess that this can not be done using yum then?
Btw, does GoogleEarth have a repo, or is there a third-party repo somewhere?
Thanks again! Ranjan

Someone else recently posted a trick using rpmrebuild to fix the google-earth-stable RPM. You might want to search the archives over the last month or so. The latest was google-earth-stable-6.0.3-2197-0 when I last installed it. Perhaps Google's yum repo is behind there direct download?

Using your and Kevin's suggestions I was able to set up the Google repositories. However, I am unable to use yum to install for the same reasons as before.
I did try out:
after installing yum-plugin-tsflags
man 5 yum.conf -tsflags "excludepath"
but nothing useful came of that (from what I can tell, this is just the manpage of yum.conf?).
Thanks, Ranjan

If you omit "--noscripts" from: 'rpm -ivh --noscripts --excludepath /usr/bin google-earth-stable_current_x86_64.rpm' you'll get your repo file, but as I said before, google-earth.repo per se doesn't guarantee that the whole thing work. You can ask Google directly whether the repo is actually set, at all. Advertised != Provided ;)
I did try out:
after installing yum-plugin-tsflags
man 5 yum.conf -tsflags "excludepath"
but nothing useful came of that (from what I can tell, this is just the manpage of yum.conf?).
man 5 yum.conf - tsflags "excludepath"?
OK, it means: read the yum.conf manual, and under the OPTIONS search for the "tsflags" and find whether there is a flag "excludepath" advertised.
rpm -qi yum-plugin-tsflags cat /usr/lib/yum-plugins/tsflags.py
It means: what the 'yum-plugin-tsflags' provides you is translation from the yum.conf style to the yum command line style, therefore read '/usr/lib/yum-plugins/tsflags.py' for an example to do so. "parser.add_option" ;)
