Well, looking at the permissions in the RealPlayer8 directory revealed a couple interesting items. I notice that there are no write permissions offered to any user level and when I copied them in, they still had my personal user ownership. Doubt that had much to do with it but I changed the owner:group to root:root just like the rest of the stuff in /usr/lib:). At this point, don't know if I should give write permission to the owner part; can't hurt I suppose. Now I would think a permission problem with libraries would have also shown itself while root was running the program as well since the program ran in silence. I should also add that during the silence treatment, pressing the s key in trplayer showed that the track was indeed playing and time was accumulating like normal. Thus I would think the libraries were being found ok.
