Dear friends:
First, my thanks to all of you who have written in with suggestions on
how to configure the new RealPlayer7.
I decided to begin from the beginning. I first tried to delete the old
version and got the following error message:
[sher@adsl-77-232-213 sher]$ rpm -e
RealPlayer7 failed to open //var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
error: cannot open //var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm
[sher@adsl-77-232-213 sher]$
Strangely enough, this is exactly the same error message I got
originally when trying to install the Red Hat RealPlayer7 rpm. Which is
why I downloaded and installed the rp7install.bin version.
I then deleted every RealPlayer file on my system, including at
/usr/X11R6/bin, /usr/bin/X11, /usr/bin, and my home directory (the
RealPlayer7 folder and all RealPlayer hidden files).
When I type "whereis RealPlayer" here is what I get:
root@adsl-77-232-213 sher]# whereis RealPlayer
RealPlayer:
[root@adsl-77-232-213 sher]# whereis realplay
realplay:
[root@adsl-77-232-213 sher]#
Now when I try to install the RealPlayer7 rpm, here is what I get:
[root@adsl-77-232-213 sher]# rpm -Uvh RealPlayer-7_0-1_i386.rpm
package RealPlayer-7.0-1 is already installed
I exited KDE, rebooted, and still I get this message. RealPlayer7 is NO
LONGER installed, but the error message above tells me it is.
Could someone please troubleshoot this for me. I am thoroughly confused.
Thank you all so very much.
Benjamin
