Whose instructions are you going off of?

What version of Realplay are you using?

You should be using the new Helix based Realplayer and not reaplayer 8 or 9. The new one is actually very nice, I was blown away compared to the crapfest that was the old realplayer stuff was. Hell I didn't even have to give them a fake email address!

plugin docs for linux

Helix and Realplayer 10 releases at https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/downloads/

(I don't think the free software version of the helix player includes the codecs nessicary to play realplay files, but these can be installed along with the reaplayer 10 or installed seperately.)
