    Because of licensing problems, the dnet codec is not distributed with
    the latest Realplayer. This prevents listening to a number of streams
    such as the BBC World Service Radio (
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/ram/live_infent.ram ). Here is a
    workaround:

    Assuming you have already installed RP10 (
    http://forms.helixcommunity.org/helixdnaclient/ ) Go to this page-
    http://forms.real.com/real/player/unix/unix.html

    You must select "Linux 2.x libc6 i386" in the "Select OS" portion.

    Click on the "Download User Supported Player" button.

    At the bottom of the next page you will see "RealOne Player for Unix -
    Preview Release If you would like to try the alpha version of RealOne
    Player for Linux 2.2 x86, use the button below."

    Download it by clicking the "Download Now" button.

    What you have there is the alpha version of the RealOne player for unix.
    Su to root. Run the following command:

    chmod u+x r1p1_linux22_libc6_i386_a1.bin

    Now run this one:

    ./r1p1_linux22_libc6_i386_a1.bin

    The player will start up once you complete filling in the registration.
    Shut the player off.

    Go to /root/Real/Codecs and get the ddnt.so.6.0 and dnet.so.6.0 codecs.
    Place them in /usr/local/RealPlayer/codecs

    You can now delete the Real and Realplayer9 folders in the root folder.

    Then run the following (once you have navigated to
    /usr/local/RealPlayer/codecs) in a terminal:

    ln -s dnet.so.6.0 dnet.so

    This worked perfectly for me in Fedora Core 1. Try the BBC link above to
    test it.
