A. To cleanly uninstall RealPlayer11GOLD.bin, execute the following script and then simply removing the installation directory:
$ sudo -i
# /opt/real/RealPlayer/postinst/postuninst.sh
# rm -rf /opt/real/RealPlayer/
Thanks for this advice - it seems imminently sensible.... however,as in almost every install I have tried in Linux over the last 3 years, there is a fatal error: in this case there is no psotuninst script in the postinst folder -or in any other folder.

I think I'll try installing it again to see if asecond attempt will provide me with an uninstall script.
