Re: [newbie] Installing RealPlayer8.bin file -- Instructions
Hello I tried all sort of instruction. I read a lot in the newbie archives. The problem is Realplayer audio is noisy. It is just scratches not sound. Please help. Dear friends: You can get RealPlayer 8 from RealPlayer home page at http://www.real.com by selecting the free RealPlayer 8 Basic and then choosing under OS Unix. This will take you directly to the Unix Community Supported RealPlayer page at: http://huxley.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html?src=rpbform You have a choice of downloading two files for Linux: a RealPlayer8.rpm and the other file, which is a RealPlayer8.bin file. Due to the problem with a different architecture, the rpm file will NOT install. It has been strongly advised by our gurus NOT to try to install it either by forcing it (--force) or by using the --ignorearch option. INSTEAD, do what I just did, thanks to a message from Wolfgang and from Tom Brinkman: First uninstall RealPlayer 7 by typing the command as root: #rpm -e RealPlayer Now install the RealPlayer8.bin file (around 5.8 meg) as ROOT. Then, as root, continue your installation and install the plugins and mimetypes. This is part of the installation as root. Just follow instructions until you have installed it fully as root. Then, as USER, go to the directory it has installed itself in, namely, /usr/local/RealPlayer8 and type: $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh mimetypes.sh and $/usr/local/RealPlayer8sh plugins.sh This will give you the plugins and mimetypes as user. Now, all that's left is to make it more convenient to launch RealPlayer8 as a desktop icon. Create the icon, then in Properties, Execute type: kstart /usr/local/RealPlayer8/./realplay If you don't add kstart you won't be able to launch RealPlayer automatically from the icon. So, add the kstart ... and it's done. That's it. I am going to send this to the Newbie list. Hopefully, this will help other newbies. My thanks again to everyone who helped.

I disagree on the "--irgnorearch" flag suggestion. I say check the
source. If an employee of mandrakesoft recommends this method with
RealPlayer8 (I'm trying not to name drop), then there shouldn't be
nothing wrong with this option. I just recommend not including the
"--force" option as that is too extreme. The reason for the "existence"
of the "--ignorearch" flag, is IMHO due to different architectures that
can actually properly install the package wihout problems, due to the
lack of education of the author or changing package support for said
package (that at one time was not compatible with any other, but now is
no longer so). Ask yourself this; if that option is so dangerous, why do
people quickly suggest "--force" which is highly more destructive for
the same function (the function of installing a package)? The word alone
speaks of it's nature. If people due a little more reading the
RealPlayer Community Support Forum, they will tell you the same that I
have told you and depending on how you asked them, they will tell you
why the package was configured the way that it was and why you have to
use the flags that you use to install it on your particular system. I
have followed this thread since the beginning and felt that it was now
time to give a little advice. I don't "trust" second hand information (a
friend of mine said...), information without facts (I thought...),
rumors (I heard...), or devotee information (This expert said...). I
trust information from the source (The packager or those that put my
distribution together). My knowledge about useing the "--ignorearch" for
RealPlayer8 came from three sources: the packger, the community that
support and develop the package (RealPlayer forum), and from one of the
employees from my distribution (which would so happen to be Mandrake. I
am not trying to belittle, insult, mock, or chastize anybody. I am
simply trying to enlighten and share a little bit of my knowledge and
opinions. This method... or should I say "MOP" (Method of Operation) or
"MTMM" (Method to My Madness) that has allowed me to grow so rapidly as
a troubleshooter and programmer. These are my "kernels" of wisdom. Take
what you want from it, compile, and install. I hope you don't "segfault"
but take it as a learning experience if you do.
Cheers

Re: [newbie] Installing RealPlayer8.bin file -- Instructions
Dera Altoine: I am NOT an expert or a programmer, just a user. However, I DID try to install RealPlayer8.rpm with the --ignorearch option after being reassured by many members and after being reassured by my expert friend that it was safe (I sent him the original correspondence on the issue). However, when I typed: #rpm -Uvh --ignorearch RealPlayer8.rpm I still got the same error message: "for a different architecture." That was enough for me. Fortunately, a little later I got the great instructions from Tom Brinkman by way of Wolfgang on how to install RealPlayer8.bin WITH all the plugins and mimetypes. And that worked perfectly. See my messge to the Newbie list with full step-by-step instructions on how to do this. Benjamin -- Sher's Russian Web http://www.websher.net Benjamin and Anna Sher [EMAIL PROTECTED]
