Linux: Existing Dependencies

I was trying to install Realplayer.RPM for linux, and as usual, it had dependencies. OK, that's fine. Then I notice one of them is bin/sh which I know I have and I check. Next I do a find on the next couple of finds the install says it needs. Those files also exist, in the lib directory. My question is, why isn't aren't those files being detected (by RPM)? How do I fix it?
 
I don't know how to fix your problem directly, but I can think of a way around it.
Go to download the file again, but don't get the RPM file this time. They have a .bin file that might work. I believe that .bin files in Linux are like .exe files in Windows. In KDE you should only have to click it once and it will install. This might work for you, but it might not. I figure it's worth a shot.
 
Unfortunately dependencies do not work by looking for specific files. Instead it searches the RPM database for a specific package name. If the rpm in question was packaged under a different distro chances are the names are different, hence the problems. Most people install rpms with nodeps by default anyway.
