comment installer real player

Asked by Pierre Courtemanche

I made a fresh intallation of UBUNTU. I tried to install RealPlayer, but it failed.
I followed exactely the procedure to do, but the TERMINAL told to me that it cannot find the file.
For to be sure about the exact download location, I download the Realplayer file into; PERSONAL file, Desktop location, and into My Documents, and with these 3 locations, sudo said; unable to execute ./RealPlayer11Gold.bin: No such file or directory.
I'm able to deal easyly with Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X, but the installation' procedure about RealPlayer does't work well with UBUNTU.
It must be most clear and must be more assisted by the OS.
In meantime, how can I installed RealPlayer. I don,t understand this time what failed. I SUCCEEDED VERY WELL WITH THE FORMER VERSION OF UBUNTU 8.10 INTREPID IBEX.
Thank's for your help,
Pierre Courtemanche
