The RealPlayer plugin allows you to view content that embeds the RealPlayer in the HTML page. This is achieved using the EMBED HTML tag. Netscape searches for all plugins by looking in its plugin directory:
$HOME/.netscape/plugins or /usr/local/netscape/plugins
Follow these steps to install the RealPlayer plugin.
ln -s $HOME/rvplayer5.0/librvplayer.so librvplayer.so
To verify that the link command was successful, list the contents of the plugins directory by entering the following command.
ls -lThe link should be listed as follows, if found.
