Hi,
I installed RealPlayer 10 and didn't receive any errors. Although when I attempt to start the program, I get the bouncing icon and then it disappears. I was wondering if anyone else had a similiar experience?

Thx...

It sound like a permissions problem. I don't know what the fix is. Have you tried to run realplay as root?
You can get Real Player here, instructs too. If you don't find the problem uninstall what you have and start over.

Yep, I tried running as "root" with the same results...

Oddly enough I tried to uninstall it and got a message stating not installed. I then ran install again and got a message already installed[??] So now I'm at a loss - not sure what to do[?]. I may have to take some adverse tactics...

How did you install it? From .rpm or RealPlayers installer.
If from .rpm then rpm -e <package_name>+
You should be able to locate it with
Remove it manually. It should be in /usr somewhere.

Get the latest package and install it. I haven't ever had any problem getting Real to work.
I would start here. https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/downloads/

Start realplay from CLI and see if you get any errors.

Just for grins I installed the Helix rpm [using the automated rpm utility], and have the same issue. No errors were listed during the install. The Helix bouncing icon is seen for several seconds and then disappears[??]. I've tried running it as both "root" and "user" with the same results.

A concern I have is if Helix/RP are sensitive to which sound driver in KDE is being used. I have a sound driver issue when logged in as root. Oddly enough the sound works fine when logged as "user" [?].

Forgive me what's "CLI" ?

I may try using an older version...
Thx...

Open a shell, xterm, aterm, konsole etc. whatever you use and enter
It will print out messages as it launches. What errors are you getting? Since it isn't completing the launch something is happening.

If I enter realplay, realplayer or helix, I get "command not found"...

Are you sure that you have it installed?
If so then it's not in your path.
do
or
and find it. When you find it make a link to the entire path. Or put the location in your PATH.

I guessing that the bin file I used originally only partially installed because I have a new real10 icon in the select menu. And perhaps there's a program install log that contains an entry listing this program[?]. This would explain not being able to install the program. Do you happen to know if there is such a file and where I can find it?
When I run "whereis or realplay" in terminal the cursor comes back up as if I just pushed enter.
I've even tried tried running yum [after updating yum.conf to use livna] and it comes back with "nothing to do".
I'll try removing all traces of realplayer and starting from square 1 again.

UPDATE:
I found out that FC4 has a known issue with Real & Helix Players. There's an O/S file that must be replaced or installed, [libstdc++ ].

Here's a link that points to a RH download link:

After I installed these lib files, both Helix & Real load and run great!
HTH others with a FC4...
