    Based on the actions taken by the RPM installation, I think symbolic links
    are a better idea than copies of the files. If you copy those files,
    subsequent updates to the RealPlayer software may encounter problems or
    leave the plug-ins used by the applications to which copies were made
    running the older version.

    Based on the file names you mentioned here, I used this command (at least
    a day after the installation!) to discover how these files were installed:

    % ll $( locate nphelix )
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Aug 20 18:49 /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/nphelix.so -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Aug 20 18:49 /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins/nphelix.xpt -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/browser-plugins/nphelix.so -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/browser-plugins/nphelix.xpt -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Aug 20 18:49 /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nphelix.xpt -> /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt*
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56434 Jul 30 03:49 /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.so*
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5086 Jul 30 03:49 /usr/local/RealPlayer/mozilla/nphelix.xpt*

    I then replicated this symlink pattern in my Mozilla 1.7.2 installation.
