Details

Not sure if this is really a bug or just a untested thing.
Realplayer 8 won't work with Mozilla. Coping the plugins
to /usr/local/mozilla/plugins and entering the MIME types
manually like it shows on real.com 's website. But it still
bring up a save to disk even though the plugin and mimetypes
are installed.
thisis the glibc version problem...bug is already filed...

It's actually a gcc version problem. I believe the plugin doesn't register at
all (i.e. doesn't show up in about:plugins) and the problem should be solved by
downloading a gcc295 mozilla build (usually in the *09 directories on
ftp.mozilla.org).
thx,dave

The plugin does show up in about:plugins.
mathias: please try again with a gcc 2.95 build (as described in bug 56464) and
if it still doesn't work, reopen this bug.
If you reopen, also provide a URL where you are seeing the wrong behavior.
Sounds like mimetypes were the problem and not the plugin.

I downloaded the mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz dated 20010626
(i think it was in the folder called 0.9.2), and it worked fine with 
that one.
Also copied the plugins to /usr/local/mozilla/plugins, uncompressed the
realplayer classes .gz file into /usr/local/mozilla/plugins, not sure if it has
to  be uncompressed or not, then put in the Mimetypes under Helper 
Applications.
Now it works great. The webpage i had trouble with was www.cnetradio.com, 
listening to the live broadcasts, now it works like a charm.
