Need Help with Program.

Statilius · 04-04-2003, 12:57 PM

I installed Real Player 8 onto RH8 and I now can't find the executable. I have search the drive and nothing. I also list all the packages installed and see nothing that indicates it's associated with real player. I try to reinstall the package but get a message claiming it's installed. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to do to execute the program?

On my Mandrake box with RealPlayer 8.0 installed, the executable is called /usr/bin/X11/realplay.

That is one of the probs with linux, it doesn't put thr rxrcutable in the menu or desktop. It is probably in /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/X11R6/bin, or /usr/X11R6/bin.

type as root 'updatedb && locate realplay'

this will tell you where realplay is located... if anywhere.

Thanks. Found it.

How would I create an incon or something in the menu so I can execute it?
