There is nothing called "realplay" anywhere in my system, nor anything
that looks close!

  I have I am using Mandrake 6.0.
 
  Of the versions of RealPlayer that were listed, it looked to me as if
  the Red Hat 5.2
  version was the most likely to be the proper one. As instructed, I
  changed the name from  rv50_redhat5xi386_rpm to rv50_redhat5xi386.rpm
  then typed rpm -i rv50_redhat5xi386.rpm  (logged in as root)
  I got no error messages (nor any other messages), so I assume it
  installed somewhere.
  However, I don't know where it is, nor what it is called.  So how do I
  get it to work now, or have I done something wrong?
 
  Thanks for your help.

Try finding a file called "rvplay" (I think the filename is.) This
would indicate that you've got version 5 of RealPlayer, NOT G2.
