Dear Marcia:
You need to install it as root:
$su
root password
then install it as follows:
#./nameoffile.bin
Then go back as user and install it as user:
$realplay
This will bring up the RealPlay dialogue box for you as user. I think I
am right. I may be wrong since I am still using Real Player 7.
The RealPlayer 8 ./bin version will install and play standalone files
but won't play embedded files. RealPlayer 7 does. But due to an "rpm"
installation conflict you can't install the RealPlayer 8 rpm file in
Mandrake, which would play all files. Just wait a few weeks and Mandrake
8.0 will be out. Then you can install RealPlayer 8 and have everything.
Yours,
Benjamin
P. S. Unfortunately, there is no way to get your hands on RealPlayer 7.
