I don't understand how to get the bits to where they go.  Can I unpack 
this .bin file like a tar.gz file somehow and decide to put the pieces in 
different places?  And put realplayer on the path?

What does segmentation fault mean?

Realplayer would probably play midi and CD files so I would like to focus 
on that, plus maybe a CD player but we have drivers that let you play by 
just pushing a button if you don't mind going straight through the CD.

Please explain the details ofhow you installed it.  Real said to chmod+x 
and run it as a binary file, I think.
