Hello,

I've download the RealPlayer 7 beta for Linux version from the official
RealAudio site... and the filename is something like this:
real_7_0_i386_rpm.

How can I install this file??????

Today I saw another file: rp7install.bin

Is this a better filename, YES... how can I install it ?

PLEASE A QUICK HELP HERE

Tnx

It works quite well as an 'external' plugin as well. It's plugin
install didn't quite work, so I just set it up as an external
application.

<command> %s is the general syntax.

Does anyone know how to setup a 'spoof' plugin for Quicktime?
Several sites (like starwars.com) don't seem to allow access
to some files unless you've got a proper quicktime plugin
(which is nonexistent on Linux).

So long as Apple uses Quicktime to effectively |||
make web based video 'Windows only' Club, / | \
Apple is no less monopolistic than Microsoft.

Need sane PPP docs? Try penguin.lvcm.com.

All you have to do is rename the file. The way I use is to: mv
real_7_0_i386_rpm real_7_0.i386.rpm
Notice that the "mv" command will rename the file, and that the two
underscores are now replaced with"dots".
Then just install the file as you would a normal rpm. The remaining
underscores don't seem to matter.

try Xswallow. It lets you set up any program as
any type of plugin. The machine I normally get it
from seems to be down, but I found a mirror of it
at tucows.com. Hope that helps!

I love the new realplayer, but when I to install
the plugin, netscape crashes (bus error) when I
try to run it. Has anyone gotten Redhat 6.0,
netscape 4.7 working with this beta realplayer 7?

As per instructions on RealPlayer site:
1. rename the file to RealPlayer-7.0-1.i386.rpm
2. rmp -i RealPlayer-7.0-1.i386.rpm
