Comment:
This sounds like a misconfiguration on the end of the server you are
downloading the RPM from.

Basically both RealPlayer files and RedHat RPMs both end in .rpm . The
only way to know the correct program to open them in is for the server
to set the correct mimetype (e.g. RPMs from
http://mirror.ac.uk/mirror/fedora.redhat.com/4/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/ try
to open in file roller for me).

(btw I hope you aren't trying to install RPMs on Ubuntu - if you're new
that's the path that madness and pain lies in...)
