Download the realplayer package here
Then run the following

Code:

rpm -ihv RealPlayer-*.rpm

Hi tiersen,
Now i am using internet in windows xp. and i download the realplayer from the link which u gave and i took the file to the linux mechine and i try to install with the command which u gave. then error is coming "lsb >= 3.1 is needed by realplayer" how to solve this?

yeah I see, the LSB dependency package isn't installed.
The following command should work

Code:

yum --nogpgcheck localinstall RealPlayer*.rpm

By the way you might need to install xine xine libs and the w32 codecs all can be done from yum
