Yes... This is also happenning with Redhat 7. Just install it with
rpm --replacefiles rp7.linux20.libc6.i386.cs1.rpm
(and I suggest renaming the above rpm to RealPlayer-7.0-7.i386.rpm, BTW)
Another thing to watch out for: if you're running esd (the enlightened sound
daemnon - it seems to run by default for gnome), make sure you use the "-as"
option (e.g., "esd -as 10") so that esd releases the sound device after some
time of inactivity. I don't know whether gnome does this by default (I use
ctwm :)). The sign that this problem is happening is that realplay opens a
window, and then just gets stuck, and doesn't even refresh its window.
Unfortunately, realplayer doesn't know how to use esd.
