You have the correct version i believe. I am using RealPlayer5.0 for Linux from www.real.com. It needs to find a few libraries in order to run.. these libs are included in the distribution of the player.. so one only needs to set up a simple script that should be run in place of the rvplayer binary. Here is mine: #!/bin/sh # rp.script to start up real player 5.0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/rvplayer5.0" PATH=$PATH":$HOME/rvplayer5.0" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH ~/rvplayer5.0/rvplayer $1 #end you may need to modify the PATH and the call to rvplayer at the end to point to your distribution. Make sure you `chmod u+x rp.script`. Note to developers: yes i know i should include ALL the parameters instead of just the first one.. but im not sure how to do that with bash.. im sure its really simple. If someone could email me with that info id be much abliged. I hope this works for you.. keep me up to date.
