I got and installed trplayer-1.0.1. I also went to the Realnetworks web site which is only slightly less fun than slamming one's little finger in a car door or getting a root canal. I got the UNIX version of RealPlayer7 after filling out the form to their satisfaction. It is the self-extracting binary so I made it executable. I get a "can't open display" error from the binary and that's right about where things sit right now. This is a Debian system and I have not yet included the sound support in the kernel, but one would expect the extractor to act like it was extracting, first. There, then, might be a complaint about there being no sound support or maybe a crash, but it looks like the binary of rp7 isn't extracting. Here are some issues that might be important. I downloaded the RealPlayer 7 binary to a different system than the one it will reside on. After the successful download, I copied the binary to the right system and uncompressed it. I also shortened the name of the binary to make it easier to remember in my short memory. If it looks at argv[0], then I am in trouble. I even logged in through the console and SU'd to root and tried it from there and got the same results. The trplayer executable is in /usr/local/bin, all ready to go. Martin
