  You know the saying about "give a man a fish versus teaching him how
to fish".  "man find" is your friend.  "find / -iname filename* > x"
does a case-insensitive search through your entire system for the
wildcarded filename* and spit the results out to file x.  You may prefer
to do the search as root, because that eliminates error messages about
acces-denied.  Here's the search, and it's results on my non-standard
layout.

  In my case, it's "/misc/opt/RealPlayer8/realplay". /misc/opt is
symlinked as /opt, so the path /opt/RealPlayer8/realplay will also work,
and it looks more normal.  Your setup will probably be different from
mine, but "find / -iname realplay*" should dig it up for you.
