Don't bother.. install realplayer using the synaptic installer, or apt-get it. Otherwise you will have a nightmare of putting the bin file in /usr/bin (or somewhere similar), changing it's permissions and then linking it to all kinds of places. Not worth the effort when it is in the repositories. ;)

just put in the terminal:
su
and after that
sh <inster .bin directory and name here>
and the installer will run.

Also check out debian-multimedia.org who have lots of extra codecs and things you will need if you do any serious video/audio stuff.

no sweat --

.bin files get installed like a script gets run...like this:

./filename-bin-installer.bin

If you're installing as yourself, it's going into your /home/you/app

If you're root, you can install it to /opt so all users can use the proggy. 'Course, this is Linux, you can tell the proggy to install it on your nipple if you want. ;)
