-------------------------
I am also new to Linux. I installed the Real Video player from the Real Audio
site by selecting the
RedHat 5.x release. They have two other releases for Linux but I am not
familiar with them. For the
5.2 version you just do the rpm install (package manager installation)
rpm -i rv_50_redhat_5xi386.rpm
Note: I created a separate directory for all new installs called /opt.
-------------------------------
If you have a binary already available try executing it and see what happens.

Good Luck
