After installing the RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm on a Fedora Core 6
box running realplay will crash every
time because its missing a shared library.

$ realplay 

/usr/local/RealPlayer/realplay.bin: error while loading
shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

doing a query on the rpm shows that it doesn't require that
library even though its essential for
realplay to run.

$ rpm -qp --requires RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm 

gtk2  

/bin/sh  

/bin/sh  

/bin/sh  

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

The shared library is available in the yum repositories for
FC6 however:

$ sudo yum provides libstdc++.so.5
. . .
compat-libstdc++-33.i386                 3.2.3-61           
   core            

Matched from:

libstdc++.so.5
Importing additional filelist information

compat-libstdc++-33.i386                 3.2.3-61           
   core            

Matched from:

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5

libstdc++.so.5
. . .

The RealPlayer rpm needs to simply be rebuilt including the
line:
Requires: libstdc++.so.5

Then they would be able to install the rpm with a:
$ sudo yum localinstall RealPlayer10Gold.rpm

and it will pull in the required libraries automatically.

This will allow users to install the proper compat rpms so
their browser plugin and player will
function properly.  Most users run realplay from the menu
entry and would not see the error above.
