1) Goto http://scopes.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html
2) Fill in the form and Choose Linux 2.x (libc6 i386).
Do *not* choose the RPM version.
3) click on "Download Community Supported Player"

bottom of the page. You will see

now 2nd step to install and configure
login as root
Start Xwindows and open terminal (programe list--> System tools --> Terminal )
change directory where u download realone
cd /where u downloadrealplayer
ls (will show dir list and proper file name)
use this following commands (if file name is different then chage it)
1- chmod u+x r1p1_linux22_libc6_i386_a1.bin
2- ./r1p1_linux22_libc6_i386_a1.bin
will start setup
I got the right file following the steps above , downloaded it, performed the steps above to start setup and installed realplayer (including registration) in about 2 minutes...not even.
Even I have difficulty tracing the plugin. I am not even able to trace the location where it installed. Any clues on that? I had searched the entire hdd for real* and rp*. What is the command line for running it? In Realplayer version 8 it was realplay.
I am not able to run realplay (the application, not the plugin) from the console. Where does it install by default? I would also be interested in setting up real player plugin for netscape
well, first you install the realplayer from realplayer.com the linux one (yes you still need to) mplayer also has realplayer binary codecs, but I could not make them work for all files, only some. Then d-load all the windows binary codecs from mplayers site. extract all those codecs into /usr/lib/win32
next get the mplayer source 9pre1, pre2 is not plugin compatible yet)
extract and do the configure stuff:
./configure --enable-gui
it should find all the realplayer codec stuff, at the end there is a summary telling you what is and is not supported by default, if it faisl use the extra configure option (./configure --help for list)
then make and make install
after that install the plugin source (never done the plugin, from here you are on yuor own)
Hey guys! Real one installs in /root directory by default which is not accessible by any other user, so I installed it again: made a custom installation this time and selected my path /usr/local/Realplayer9. Also I copied .realnetworks and Real directories from /root to /home/username and changed ownership and also edited each config file in .realnetworks to point to /home/username/Real instead of /root/Real. Then added realplayer to my kde menu and now I can run real one from kde menu.
