Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me finish this.
I'm following the directions at http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html
and using the command page from http://www.ss64.com/bash/ln.html

I've used those pages to install Flash, Java, and Adobe Acrobat Reader.


I've done the 1st 2 steps but I don't quite understand step 3.

1. Install RealPlayer 10.
Done

2. Copy nphelix.so to your Mozilla plugins directory and nphelix.xpt to your Mozilla components directory.
Done

3. Make sure a symbolic link to the realplay script is in your PATH.

What I don't understand is where to make the symlink command from. The mozilla-firefox plugin folder perhaps or the mozilla-firefox components folder ? I wouldn't know how to remove a symlink and don't want to mess up the browser on this last step.

I'm pretty sure the following is the right command;

ln -s /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay ./realplay

Probably something obvious :P

Thanks in advance :D

Solved Thanks to rolfp on the Mandriva board.

I misunderstood I thought I had to create a symlink to a specific folder like I had to for Java. :o
Rolfp told me to do echo $PATH
it returned
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/games:/usr/lib/qt3//bin:/home/darkfoss/bin:/usr/lib/qt3//bin

then to do ln -s /usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay /usr/local/bin

to set permissions sigh so much to learn :P :wall: :lol2:
