Re: About realplayer

[James Dietrich <jdietrch@southern.edu>]

I've followed this discussion on RealPlayer with interest, as RealPlayer
doesn't work on my system either--but it gives a different error.

A couple weeks ago I did a fresh install of Hamm (including RealPlayer)
and everything worked just fine.  However, after upgrading to Slink,
RealPlayer stopped working.  When I try to run the welcome.rm provided
there are a few frames of video and then it says this:

General error. An error occurred.

For more information, please see Error 1 at:
	http://www.realaudio.com/help/errors

and goes no further.  The same thing happens when I click on a link in
Netscape--I get perhaps 1/3 second of video/sound and then the above error.

Yes, I'm using the Debian package, and yes, I have purged and reinstalled
it (several times) to no effect.

Anybody got any ideas?  Any more information about my system I'll be glad
to provide.

Thanks a lot!
