problem installing realplayer 8

[nick G]

If you can find an srpm for Real Player 8, follow these steps.
1. Install the SRPM in the usual way.
2. Change directory to /usrsrc/redhat/SPECS.
3. Compile the rpm by doing the following.
rpm -bb rp.spec
Where rp.spec, insert that file.
4. Change directory one more time to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386.  If that 
isn't it, go I686, keep looking until you found the newly created RPM.
Thanks,
Nick
