I recently downloaded and installed RealPlayer for Linux. I'm running

Mandriva LE 2005. However, when I run "realplay", I get the following

message:

 

error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared

object file: No such file or directory

 

So, I went to MCC and tried to install libstdc++.so.5. But when I went to

do so, I received the following message:

 

The following packages have bad signatures:

libstdc++5-3.3.4-4mdk.i586.rpm: Invalid signature ((SHA1)

DSA sha1 md5(GPG) (MISSING KEY) GPG#78d019f5 NOT OK)

Do you want to continue installation?

 

I didn't continue with the installation because I don't know what, if

anything will happen. Should I continue with the installation? If not,

does anyone else have any other ideas as I would really like to use

RealPlayer.

 

Many thanks.

Extra remark: all the fuzz is about in terms of signatures, is that if it's not properly signed, you can't trust that it's really based on the source code.

 

Since you want to install realplayer, for which no source code is available, why worry about signatures?

You're already installing black box stuff on your system....

 

Or maybe I'm just cynical...
