Subject: [newbie] What OS do I select for RealPlayer at www.real.com?


 When I go to www.real .com I try to download the real player. It asks
which OS I
 am using. I do not see Mandrake there. I see RedHat 5.2. That's not
supposed to
 be compatible with Mandrake 6. I thought RedHat 6.0 was the only
compatible
 platform to Mandrake 6.0. I installed the RedHat 5.2 version at it
doesn't' launch
 or start up.

 Anyone gone to this web site to see the other options? What the heck to I
do?

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.
