installing Real Player for Linux

Needless to say, installing Real Player for Fedora Core 4 was much more involved than the instructions lead you to believe. Here are the Real steps:
1) download the RealPlayer10GOLD.bin
2) make it executable (chmod a+x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin)
3) symbolic link older libstdc:
ln -s libstdc++.so.6.0.7 libstdc++.so.5
4) install older compatibility libraries:
yum install compat-libstdc++-33
5) run
ldconfig

6) restart Gnome

Yarg. Done.
