Install Google Chrome slackware

First install the dependencies with gslapt or slapt-get -i
GConf ORBit2 google-chrome-pam-solibs
 Then go to the Google Chrome site:
http://www.google.com/chrome
Click the download button, and select either:
32 bit .deb (for Debian/Ubuntu)or 64 bit .deb (for Debian/Ubuntu)
Download the SlackBuild from here and execute it as root 
while being in the same folder as the just downloaded Chrome deb.
It will convert the deb to a txz in your tmp folder.If all goes well you get:
Slackware package /tmp/google-chrome-25.0.1364.97-x86_64-1.txz created.
Now do again as root: # upgradepkg --install-new google-chrome-25.0.1364.97-x86_64-1.txz
Output:
