Real Player for Fedora

Download RealPlayer 10.0 GOLD from: http://www.real.com/linux/.

Select: "Advanced Installation RedHat Package"

NOTE: You can have both HelixPlayer and RealPlayer installed, however I recommend using RealPlayer over HelixPlayer. Users of amarok may find HelixPlayer required, if so, leave it.

Check for HelixPlayer:

[mirandam@charon ~]$ rpm -q HelixPlayer

HelixPlayer-1.0.7-4.fc6

Uninstall HelixPlayer:

[mirandam@charon ~]$ sudo rpm -e HelixPlayer

Before installing RealPlayer, make sure to have the compat-libstdc++-33 compatibility libraries installed.

[mirandam@charon downloads]$ sudo yum install compat-libstdc++-33

Install RealPlayer:

[mirandam@charon downloads]$ sudo rpm -ivh RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
