One source http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#RealPlayer
says I need to "copy rpnp.so to your Mozilla Plugins" directory. I don't know how to do that.
even my mother can copy and paste!
When I click on a RealAudio streaming link using Opera, the dialog box comes up, but the "Open" button is grayed-out.
To open directly in Opera:
go to File, Preferences, File Types (and there is a little check box saying "hide file types opened with opera" -- make sure it is unchecked), and then you should re-configure whatever mime types you want to open as follows.
Personally, I have m3u, rmm, and ram types set to not use the realaudio plugin but to launch the application itself.
So highlight that mime type, hit edit and then set it to "open with other application" and click pass web address directly to application
Then you need to set the path in the little box there to launch a script that launches the application.
for example I have /home/myhouse/2realplayer
with my 2realplayer script as follows
#!/bin/sh
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 /home/myhouse/RealPlayer8/realplay ${1+"$@"} &a little explanation
1) LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 ----> I couldn't get it to work under 2.4 (for rh 9 -- glibc issues or something like that)and saw this on the realplayer mailing list which worked
2) /home/myhouse/RealPlayer8/realplay ---> this is the path to realplay, you have to adjust it to wherever yours is. Perhaps /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/realplay or /usr/local/RealPlayer8/realplay
3) ${1+"$@"} & ---> this is to accept the webaddress that opera will pass to the application so realplayer can find the music or whatever you want to listen to when you clidk the link.
Good luck. Make sure you set the 2realplay or whatever you call it script to executable.
Hope this isn't too tough for you.

I'm still struggggling mightily to get RealPlayer to work.
It's downloaded and installed as a plugin and listed that way in both Mozilla and Opera (my fave) browsers.
When I click on a RealAudio streaming link using Opera, the dialog box comes up, but the "Open" button is grayed-out.
When I do the same thing using Mozilla, clicking Open gets me nothing.
I see a lot written about this, all in language miles over my head. The link off this page http://realforum.real.com/cgi-bin/unixplayer/ showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=install2&Number=4847&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5 means nothing to me.
In small, easy words, is there something I need to do or check? Assume that I know practically nothing.
