Howto: Realplayer for Feisty Fawn

[Technoviking]

I have built a .deb package using Feisty dependences for Realplayer 10 with pbuilder.

1. Download the Realplayer .deb.package
2. Install with gdebi or

   sudo dpkg -i realplay_10.0.8-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

Full sources can be found at http://mikesplanet.net/feisty/realplay/

Please let me know if you have any problems with this package.

The link is broken

Why would we need the .deb file when we can get the .bin file from http://www.real.com/linux ?

[TheMono]

Why would you use a .bin rather than a .deb? Much easier to remove a .deb, means nothing can interfere with dpkg because dpkg is kept aware, etc. Far better to keep everything under one package system.

Thanks a lot! Works flawlessly
Just a thought: Change the first link and the command line, because you may have happened to rename the files, so they are not accessible through the first link anymore + the command wouldn't work since the files now have a different name

Nuts... doesn't work for 64-bit.

I can't install.

sudo dpkg -i realplay_10.0.8-0ubuntu3~feisty3rdparty_i386.deb

Update: I used the old package from Edgy instead which works for me:

Same problem here as docomo.

1. Download the Realplayer .deb.package

This link is broken, doesn't work when clicked or right-clicked.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this package.

I found that following this link took me to the actual directory that contains the file, where I had no problem downloading it.

I moved this to Outdated T&T, since the link appears to be dead.
