I've seen a bunch of posts here about Realplayer, so I hope this isn't redundent.
I've got a RH9 box with Netscape 7.1 as my browser. I have installed Realplayer 8; however, it does not show up in my plugin list of the browser. I have tried to uninstall and the PC tells me it's not installed. I tried re-installing and the PC tells me it's already installed.
How confusing is that?
Anyway, it would be great to listen to radio and watch video clips. When I try to look at clips, I get a weird symbol icon and the offer to download the plugin, which is like deja vu all over again.
Sounds like you did'nt check the box to tell Real Player to install the plugin. No biggie though go to /usr/lib/RealPlayer and copy the rpnp.so file to your netscape plugin directory
I downloaded the RPM software and renamed it as you need to do.
Then I ran the rpm with the --force option.
This took care of the problem of the computer telling me it was already installed/not installed. THIS time when the dialogue window opened up I made sure that the proper check boxes were checked.
What threw me on this was this weird business of not being able to uninstall or reinstall. Next time I know to use the --force option.
Thanks to everybody, I hope this can help someone else with the same problem.
