Hi, I am new to Linux

I download "RealPlayer11GOLD.bin"
and I want to install.
I wrote this in shell

$ chmod +x RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
$ ./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

but I got the following error message

$ bash: ./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Please help me out, thanks

Hi, I'm not sure what's the cause of your error. But if you want to play videos, execute this to get a general purpose player that supports a lot of formats:

yum install mplayer mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts mplayerplug-in mplayer-gui mplayer-codecs

Welcome to LQ.

The Real package for Fedora :

http://www.real.com/linux .. .. look for RPM Package ..
> > http://www.real.com/realcom/R?href=h...ayer11GOLD.rpm
→ RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

Other instructions

The bin installer may also be usable ?
chmod +x RealPlayer11GOLD.bin

.. Or use the command : 'sh RealPlayer11GOLD.bin'.
.....

What is the output from
I would suggest to reinstall glibc

hi repo,
the output for rpm -qf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is "No such file or directory" and the second is as follow

glibc-common-2.9-2.x86_64
glibc-2.9-2.x86_64
glibc-headers-2.9-2.x86_64
glibc-devel-2.9-2.x86_64

Anyway to execute that bin file? I also download rpm format and install with the following command

$rpm -Uvh RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

and I got the error again

error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
(No such file or directory)

For Fedora you should use the RPM installer.

error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000
(No such file or directory)

The error above is because you are not root. Switch to root before running the command.

$ su -

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 is a link to /lib/ld-2.X.X.so (instead of X there are some version numbers). So you should execute a command (as a root):
# ln -s $(ls /lib/ls-2.*) /lib/ld-linux.so.2

I think it is quite clear how to install the RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

But OK, I can repeat the install instructions, post # 3
http://liquidat.wordpress.com/2008/0...-110-released/
The instructions say ( in case nobody read it ) :

1) cd <location-of-RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm-package>/
2) su
3) yum --nogpgcheck localinstall RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

Then you will get "lsb" + all other dependencies !
Total 13 packages on my Fedora 12.
.....

And you get a "Real Player 11" icon in
> > ' Programs ' > Sound & Video ..
.....

But then again, you never told which Fedora, you are using.
May be it doesn't work with an old Fedora core ..
.....

Thanks to all for your replies , I will try again like you all said. I am now using fedora 10.

Oh yes, I got it. Thanks knudfl. Can you suggest me how to set installed dir to that command?

.. If your question is : how to 'cd' to RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm :
Example : it is located on the Desktop ..
1) cd Desktop
.. or 1a) : cd /home/"username"/Desktop/
2) su
3) yum --nogpgcheck localinstall RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

.. And if your question means : where are the installed files ..
The application is installed to /opt/ ,
and the file 'realplay' is (also) in /usr/bin/realplay
( The start command is : realplay ).
