I have RealPlayer8 installed, but I can't seem to get it to act as a

the plugin functionality.
Anyone know how I can get the plugin installed into Mozilla? I
copied the rpnp.so file into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, and that
shows up in "about: plugins", but I still can't play that video clip.
Thanks!
In the RealPlayer8 window select "Help"-->"Mime Type/Plugin Install"
and follow the directions there.
I did that, which was a repeat of part of the original installation of
rp8. Made no difference.
I also have the "mozplugger" app installed. Dunno if it is needed or
not, since I don't use RealPlayer all that much. I can get
RealPlayer to come up on the above site OK here.
Installed that, which made no difference. Now when I click on "about:
plugins" I see a new group "MozPlugger 1.3.0" that has a lot of
different "helper applications", but Real is not mentioned among them.
btw, the following is in /etc/mozpluggerrc:
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin: rpm: RealPlayer Plugin Metafile
audio/x-pn-realaudio: ra,rm,ram: Realaudio-plugin resource locator
audio/x-realaudio: ra,rm,ram: RealAudio file
application/vnd.rn-realmedia: rm: RealMedia file
application/smil: smi: RealPlayer
audio/vnd.rn-realaudio: ra,ram: RealAudio file
audio/vnd.rn-realvideo: rv: RealVideo file
nokill exits: realplay "$file"
