So I am new to linux and am having problems with media players. I want to be able to install RealPlayer to be able to listen to downloaded audio clips from websites such as the BBC or aljazeera. I downloaded the supposed version for Linux and when I go to install it I get the error message

Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying "/home/jake/RealPlayer/RealPlayer10GOLD.bin".

How do I fix this? Any suggestions would be great

Oh yeah, I have Enterprise Red Hat 3.0

I think the problem is you have to change permissions on the file before you can execute it. Here's what I did...

Code:

[Dapper@Dan Dapper]$ su
Password:
# ls Re
RealPlayer10GOLD.bin    Reed.Media_Release.doc
[root@Dan Dapper]# ls RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
[root@Dan Dapper]# chmod 777 RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
[root@Dan Dapper]# ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
