Yeh. Sorry. Unintentional typo, and on my way cycling down to my local town I 
realised I'd forgotten to say that installing the downloaded version of 
realplayer to /usr/local needs to be done as root.

It's getting bad. 2 blunders on one posting.

I don't know if anyone else has had problems with the realplayer version from 
Debian-multimedia. I checked in synaptic for installed files, and there are a 
bunch of links for nphelix.so, and nphelix.xpt in various files.
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins-libc6/nphelix.so  (same for nphelix.xpt)
/usr/lib/mozilla-snapshot/plugins/nphelix.so   (as above)
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/nphelix.so                   (as above)
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/nphelix.so       (as above)

But no links in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins for nphelix.so, and nphelix.xpt.

I'm reasonably sure that I had problems with realplayer from 
Debian-multimedia, which would explain why I also installed the one from 
real.com, which has always worked ok.

It's interesting that the link in /usr/lib/netscape/plugins-libc6 for 
nphelix.so , and .xpt goes like this.
nphelix.so->../../mozilla/plugins/nphelix.so Shared Library (Link)
nphelix.xpt->../../mozilla/plugins/nphelix.xpt Unknown (Link)

I don't understand where they are pointing to. What does the ../../ signify?

I'm not knocking Christian's package, but just couldn't get it to work for 
some reason or other.

Nigel.
