Hello there, The latest version of realplayer is actually available from Canonical's commercial software repository, please see here:
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/07/08/introducing-the-dapper- commercial-repository/ You should uninstall any existing instances of realplayer before installing the package from this repository. Please understand that the ubuntu community can not generally support commercial software, or software that is not installed using the package management system. -- Real Player will not install even with Real Players instructions. https://launchpad.net/bugs/62917 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
