Realplayer Problems on fedora7

Well, it was commonly heard that when realplayer was installed on fedora 5,6,7 it never started; even though it was installed properly and yeah I did face the same problem.

And here is the solution - “Install compat-libstdc++-33 before installing realplayer”

[root@kranny~]# yum install compat-libstdc++-33
Loading “installonlyn” plugin
