the .bin file is an installer program.  To run it, you have to make it
executable:

chmod a+rx realplayer-8.0.bin
./realplayer-8.0.bin

Install it to /usr/local or something.

To get realplayer 8 to run, though, you have to do some workarounds on
rh9 (although realone will work fine)

What I do is rename the binary to something like realplay.bin and then
write a small shell script that goes:

#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
realplay.bin $@

That makes it work.  Unfortunately the plugin itself will not longer
work because it is compiled with gcc 2.95 and mozilla is now built with
3.2.  I use the xine-plugin instead.  I prefer the player launch, rather
than embedd itself.

If this doesn't suit you, check out the non-free crossover plugin from
www.codeweavers.com.  It installs many windows (win32) browser plugins
into mozilla on linux on an x86 platform.
