real player installation

[bower]

I have Mandriva 2008.1 Spring and am trying to install real player. I down loaded real player 11 rpm and when i double click the file it asks if i want to install it then it blips to a small window for just a second and then stops. package manager doesn't have it at all. what am i doing wrong?

Thanks

Use the rpm command instead of double clicking on the package e.g.

rpm -Uvh somefile.rpm

RPM will show detailed output if there is any problem. Post that output back.

oops... looks like daark.child was faster than me.

I looked at the other post and when i try to install the rpm i get

Desktop]# rpm -Uvh RealPlayer11GOLD_1.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
lsb >= 3.1 is needed by RealPlayer-11.0.1.1056-20081001.i586


I tried to do Desktop]# urpmi lsb
The following packages can't be installed because they depend on packages
that are older than the installed ones:
vim-common-7.1-10mdv2008.0
vim-enhanced-7.1-10mdv2008.0
lsb-core-3.1-14mdv2007.1
lsb-3.1-14mdv2007.1
Continue installation anyway? (Y/n)

and having the symbols and 3.1 included with no luck it just gave me a list of about 200 items that had 3.1 in them

Try the following

urpmi.update -a
urpmi lsb-core lsb

You need to first make sure that you have added the various main, contrib, plf and updates repos for your version of Mandriva using the tools at easyurpmi.
