Hi all,

I've noticed a number of users in the helix community forums recently having trouble installing the player in Fedora Core 4.

The error is along the lines of:

# ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

If you experience this error, it means you need to install the compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3 package, available from:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4.i386.rpm

You can also try out a nightly build of the development version of the player from:

http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helix/builds/?category=realplay-current

It links against a newer version of libstdc++ which should be fc4-compatible out of the box.
