My comparable file looks to be /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/realplay When I go to the box - in the Opera Prefs section as described above - and put in #!/bin/sh LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/realplay ${1+"$@"} & it all comes up on one line.Is that a problem? When I save it and get out, then click on a Real link... nothing happens. > Good luck. Make sure you set the 2realplay or whatever you call it > script to executable. Huh??? What now??? I haven't tried the other advice (pasted way below). ??? You seem to know more about Opera. Great browser.

Basically, here is what you need to do: 1. Run a text editor: eg: 'kedit', 'kate', or anything. There should be a 'Text Editor' in your menu. 2. Copy the following text in the editor, and save the file as 'runreal' (no quote of course). You can save it as anything you like, but I'm gonna assume you save it as 'runreal' in your home directory. #!/bin/bash if [ "$1" = "" ]; then LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 realplay else { LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 realplay $1 } fi; 3. Now, open a terminal/console from the menu, go to the directory where you save runreal. If you save it in your home directory (ie /home/your_username) then you should already be there when you open a terminal. 4. Type the following in terminal: "chmod 775 runreal" (withouth the doble quotes). 5. Then type the following in terminal to run realplayer: "./runreal" (without the doble quotes). You should be able to run realplayer then. See if that works first, and let us know what you don't understand.
