The "about:plugins" URL tells you which plugins are available
to your mozilla at the moment. Most likely, you don't have
RealPlayer available in mozilla.
I had a similar problem. My RealPlayer is an rpm. The
plugin for netscape/Mozilla is rpnp.so, and there is another
file, raclass.zip, I dunno its function. In order netscape/
mozilla to see the plug-in, these files have to be in some
"plugins" directory, where netscape/mozilla looks for plug-ins at
start.
Well, the RealPlayer rpm installs both rpnp.so and raclass.zip in
two directories, /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/ and
/usr/local/netscape/plugins/. My netscape and mozilla are
elsewhere, so they could not see the plug-ins.
I simply made symlinks to the plugins. In your case, that
will be (assuming rpnp.so and raclass.zip are in
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins):
cd /usr/local/Mozilla/package/plugins (or wherever
the "plugins" directory is)
ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/rpnp.sp rpnp.so
ln -s /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/raclass.zip raclass.zip
and restart mozilla. With "about:plugins" you should see
the real plugin activated.
If you have RealPlayer as an rpm, to see whether indeed
rpnp.so and raclass.zip are in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/, do
rpm -ql RealPlayer | grep plugins
Otherwise,
find / -name "rpnp.so" -print 2> /dev/null
Good luck,
