linux real-player problem

Has anyone else had the problem with "realplayer" that it
keeps saying either that the "file compression is not supported",
error #38, or else says that I need to get a more recent version of
the rvplayer software?

I've fetched and re-installed this software about 6 times
int he last few months, and each time it gives the same errors.
Once I actually got some sound out of it (PNN news service),
and I once got a still picture out of it.
But it just doesn't work 99.5% of the time.

The linux version is redhat 5.2, rvplayer is supposedly the
G2 version, but I think that it just gives me a non-G2 version
all the time for linux, file rv50_redhat5xi386.rpm.
Does this mean that I have to boot into windows to hear/see
real audio/video?

Cheers,
Alan Kennington.
