You are doing nothing wrong, we have a bug there related to changes in
python 2.6 ('with' is now a keyword). We have fixed it in trunk and the
new release will be out this week end.

In the mean time, could you please report a bug in openSUSE bug tracker
to let them know of the issue. Let them know that the commit in trunk
that fixes this is r3749.

If you want to go fast, you can find and edit these files on your
system: group_edit.py profile_edit.py and class_edit.py
In these files, replace the occurrence 'with' by '_with'.

There is usually no package for the admin or maybe they just put a menu
entry in it.

This is often confusing but the administration module is just a special
activity in GCompris. It is shipped by default like the other activities
and is accessed by running 'gcompris -a' or 'gcompris --administration'
