I download rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm
from Realplayer website and tried installing it using rpm -ivh. I got the following error messages.
<snip>
why is there an exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages? Do I need to be root
to install anything? Is there a way to install something as a user?
Generally you need to be root to install an RPM package. I do not know if there is a way around that (I have never needed to try), but the error messages you got are the same ones I get when I forget to become root before installing a package.
