FC6 RealPlayer
Before downloading RealPlayer, before that SELinux has been configured properly (as described in my SELinux page). Before installing RealPlayer, first check to make sure that you have the compat-libstdc++-33 library:
~> rpm -q compat-libstdc++-33 openldap openldap-devel
If the package has not been installed, install it:
~> sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33
Hit Enter and press 'y' when asked if you wish to install the package.

Then go to the RealPlayer download page for linux:

http://www.real.com/linux/

and download the RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm under the Download RPM Package link. Change to the Desktop directory:

~> cd ~/Desktop
and use sudo to install the rpm package:
~> sudo rpm -vhi RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
You should see the rpm successfully install:

Restart Firefox to enable the RealPlayer plugin, and you should be ready to use it. Type "realplay" in a terminal window if you wish to launch it by hand.
