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.
