Below is everything I have found and tried both on the web and on
Ubuntu to try and install this thing. Please don't be rude. I am not
familiar with the system and I am stumbling, but I am trying.

The only positive response I have received is from the concept of

'OPEREND MISSING'

I don't know what that means and I cannot understand the help listing.
I am not alone in the difficulty, as can be seen from the listings
from several sites.

I did use the listing on Ubuntu to download RealPlayer 10, which will
hopefully give me the means to listen to the stuff I want (old time
radio), but now I am obsessed with finding a way to install the
version 11. As the English comic Benny Hill use to say "Learning;
always learning".

Multimedia – Install Real Player 10 for linux on Ubuntu

February 20, 2008 by taufanlubis

Step 1. Download the Real Player

Download link: https://player.helixcommunity.org/2005/downloads/

I suggest to download the `Installer' program. It's much easier.

Step 2. Change access permission

taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ ls -l
realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

-rw-r–r– 1 taufanlubis taufanlubis 5790356 2008-02-12 08:20
realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ sudo chmod a+x
realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

taufanlubis@toshiba:~$ ls -l
realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

-rwxr-xr-x 1 taufanlubis taufanlubis 5790356 2008-02-14 07:55
realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

Note:

When you install the realplay, make sure that your directory name has
no space, otherwise it will create an error. For example:

taufanlubis@toshiba:~/mydata/My Ubuntu Collections/packages$ sudo
./realplay-10.0.9.809-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-i586.bin

Okay, here's the down and dirty version: tested on Gutsy ;)

1. Download the RealPlayer11GOLD from http://www.real.com/linux to
your home directory.
2. Open Terminal (from this point on, you must have admin rights).
3. Type sudo chmod +x RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
4. Type sudo "./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin"
5. Follow prompts. It'll start the installer. Do as it instructs and
hit Enter.
6. It'll ask for the install path. Default is fine and hit enter.
7. It'll ask for a confirmation of install path. Press F to Finish the
install.
8. It copies files, installs icons, etc. When you get the prompt, it's
done.

Congrats! You have just installed RealPlayer 11 on Ubuntu. Easy, huh? ;)
To launch the app, go to Applications > Sound & Video > RealPlayer 11.
If that doesn't work, open Terminal again and type realplay .

Follow setup prompts and RealPlayer should be launched. It may forward
a tab in FireFox to say if RealPlayer is up to date or not.

Enjoy! ;) PM if there any problems or if u found it useful. Just
tested it and it works for me! ;)

First, you should know were the file is being downloaded. If you are
using Firefox as a web browser, go to Preferences, and then see the
name of the directory where the files are to be downloaded (for
instance: /home/user/Desktop) then, at the terminal window were you
want to install RealPlayer type this:
sudo su
(this will give you root privileges)
then type:
cd /home/user/Desktop (or whatever the directory is, this will change
the directory)
then try to do what was recommended, it should work, I think. Then,
close the terminal window or type:
exit

Usage: install [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
or: install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
or: install [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
or: install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...
In the first three forms, copy SOURCE to DEST or multiple SOURCE(s) to
the existing DIRECTORY, while setting permission modes and owner/group.
In the 4th form, create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
--backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file
-b like --backup but does not accept an argument
-c (ignored)
-d, --directory treat all arguments as directory names; create all
components of the specified directories
-D create all leading components of DEST except the
last,
then copy SOURCE to DEST
-g, --group=GROUP set group ownership, instead of process' current
group
-m, --mode=MODE set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of
rwxr-xr-x
-o, --owner=OWNER set ownership (super-user only)
-p, --preserve-timestamps apply access/modification times of
SOURCE files
to corresponding destination files
-s, --strip strip symbol tables
-S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix
-t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY copy all SOURCE arguments into
DIRECTORY
-T, --no-target-directory treat DEST as a normal file
-v, --verbose print the name of each directory as it is created
-P, --preserve_context (SELinux) Preserve security context
-Z, --context=CONTEXT (SELinux) Set security context of files and
directories
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit

The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or
SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.
The version control method may be selected via the --backup option or
through
the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable. Here are the values:

none, off never make backups (even if --backup is given)
numbered, t make numbered backups
existing, nil numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise
simple, never always make simple backups
