Real Player 10 will not Install on Suse 9.1 Pro

I downloaded RealPlayer 10 and followed the instructions to the best of my abilities, but it keeps giving me a "Unknown Host" error. I ran the .bin through the "run command", was this correct? I even tried running it as the root user to no avail.

Obviously I'm brand new to Linux.

Thanks in advance

Try downloading and installing the rpm.

Yes, I installed the .rpm and can say that RealPlayer 10 and the HelixPlayer both work well when installed from .rpm.

mjcwa,

I had so many problems with RealPlayer 10 that I got rid of it and run MPlayer and the Firefox browser for my media Media needs.

Getting media to run in Linux -- just like with MS -- can be a struggle. It also depends what you want to do.

Anything in particular that you want to acheive?

Thank you all for your advice, I'll try that right away.

Again, being a newby I'm looking one program to play music and video....and convert songs to MP3.

Once again, thank for your responses.
