I also noticed that the nphelix.so provided by the package is 39.6KB, whilst the version from the tarball is 76.1KB. Also libstdc++5 has to be installed for the method in the post to work (when manually placing the helix plugin files in to the mozilla plugins folder in your home directory).

And how do I get it to work. It's annoying that they still haven't got this sorted. Cheers for any help, James If the medibuntu realplayer package comes with a mozilla plugin, where is it?
