I realized that sometimes when i would install an rpm using the terminal (ofcourse being a super user), it would fail for one reason or another. What i normally do is make sure i am signed in as root when installing and most of those poblems are not there. I am not guaranting(is that the spelling???) it will work.

Either log in as root user ( not recommended ) or gain root privileges through su command. Execute this Code: su - rmp -ivh RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First
