Step 1. Download the Real Player
Download link: https://player.helixcommunity.org/2005/downloads/
I suggest to download the ‘Installer’ program. It’s much easier.
Step 2. Change access permission
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ ls -l realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin
-rw-r–r– 1 taufanlubis taufanlubis 5790356 2008-02-12 08:20 realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ sudo chmod a+x realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin
taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ ls -l realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

Note:
When you install the realplay, make sure that your directory name has no space, otherwise it will create an error. For example:
taufanlubis@toshiba:~/mydata/My Ubuntu Collections/packages$ sudo ./realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

When I try to install I get an error message saying error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or Directory…
Any Ideas on how to solve this??
May be, you should update your system first.
- Make sure that your repository connect to main server
- Update your system
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
- Try to install again
