First, you have to find the rpm. I recommend doing this command first:
rpm -qa | grep Real
That should bring up RealPlayer-[whatever the rest]
and then type:
rpm -ev RealPlayer
(I add "v" as I like to "see" what is going on.)

First you should chech the exact name of the file: $ su # rpm -qa |grep rp7 (or a bit of the file name you think it's right like 'rpm -qa |grep real) As output you'll get the exact name of the file. Then: # rpm -ev exactname (of course exactname is the name of the file) Greets, C. > -Oorspronkelijk bericht- > Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Namens Benjamin > Sher > Verzonden: vrijdag 30 maart 2001 3:14 > Aan: Expert > Onderwerp: [expert] Installing RealPlayer8 .bin -- footnote > > > Dear friends: > > As I mentioned, before installing the RealPlayer 8.bin file, I would > like to uninstall my RealPlayer7 rpm.

[expert] Installing RealPlayer8 .bin -- footnote
Dear friends: As I mentioned, before installing the RealPlayer 8.bin file, I would like to uninstall my RealPlayer7 rpm. I forgot to mention the name of the file: rp7_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1.rpm* And yes, I have also tried the following rpm -e combinations: rpm -e rp7 rpm -e rp7_linux rpm -e rp7_linux20 Etc. None has worked. How do I UNinstall the RealPlayer7 rpm, please? Thanks so much. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[expert] Installing RealPlayer8.bin
Dear Wolfgang and friends: A little problem: I am going to try to install the RealPlayer8 .bin file, which I have just downloaded. But how do I UNinstall my RealPlayer7 RPM? I have tried all sorts of combinations: rpm -e realplay rpm -e RealPlayer rpm -e RealPlayer7 None of this works. Very confusing. Each time I get a message telling me that RealPlayer is not installed on my system. That's funny. I am listening to the RealPlayer 7 rpm even as I write this. Similarly, The RealPlayer7 directory is where it should be /usr/lib/RealPlayer7 So, what do you suggest, please? I don't want to try to install the new RealPlayer8. bin using Tom Brinkman's instructions as provided by Wolfgang Bornath until this is clarified. Thanks so much.
