If your rosegarden version is the latest (should be 0.9.5-1) then you
just found (indirectly) a packaging error I made on 7.3. The binaries
are incorrectly named (do a "ls /usr/bin/*rosegarden" to see what I
mean). 

You must have a previously installed version of rosegarden, otherwise
"rosegarden" should return (with only the Planet CCRMA 7.3 rpm
installed) a "command not found" error. 

A temporary workaround (while I redo the package) is, as root:
  cd /usr/bin
  ln -s i386-redhat-linux-rosegarden rosegarden
  ln -s i386-redhat-linux-rosegardensequencer rosegardensequencer
You may have to remove whatever older rosegarden executables you have
there before trying to create the links. It is probably wise to remove
the links before upgrading to the fixed package later today. 

Sorry for the inconvenience... these days I hardly ever check running
the programs when building on 7.3 (too many os's, too little time).
