Can't Install Realplayer

How do you install realplayer?

I tried to emerge realplayer, but it got so far and then stopped. I think it said I had to go get it somewhere else or something. Could anybody provide specific help for how to get it installed (the standalone player -- not the plugin)?

because of the license, you should download the binary file manually from www.real.com and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles. (filename is rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm)

The ebuild tells you to download yourself the package because of the special license of RealPlayer.
You have to download the file rp8_linux20_libc6_i386_cs2_rpm from the Real web site and copy it to /usr/portage/distfiles
Choose "Linux 2.x (libc6 i386) RPM" in the OS selection box.

EDIT : Argh... Too late ! lx was faster than me...
