Hi Scott. You don't, RealPlayer is a commercial package downloaded from www.realnetwork.com. If you are talking about trplayer, that is built using the libraries installed during the real player installation. The user never compiles anything for trplayer. The tar.gz files on the speakup site are not official, and should not be included in any written matterial you may produce. Sometimes you can cause lots of trouble when you are writing about things you don't know about. Read between the lines.
