Mandrake: RealPlayer won't install

Comment:

Hello. Having issues with Mandrake 8.2. I can't get RealPlayer to install. Whenever I try to use the RPM, I get an error message that says that it is already installed. However, I have no evidence of this, and it doesn't seem to be. Ideas? Where would I find the files if it was installed, for instance?

You can check whether it has been installed or not by rpm -q filename -or- find / -name filename -print I didn't know that RealPlay comes with a RPM format!!! I thought it comes as an executable file where you run it to install it... Lawrence

Apparently it does. I got it working last night. Thanks for the command, though. That will help.
