Lorenzo and Greg, Thanks for the suggestion. I use mplayer here already, but there are still a few sites that trplayer/realplayer handle that mplayer cannot, so I often switch from one to the other. The libstdc++6 thing led down a garden path. It was installed, but did not solve the problem. I used another portion of the error message to search for another library with a related name, and learned that libc6 was obsolete and replaced by something else. So I got that too, but still no luck. The fact is, trplayer would benefit from a recompile in this newer environment, but doing so requires an infrastructure from Realmedia, and I'm not sure I want to go there. I am inclined to agree with you guys about learning to live without trplayer and going with mplayer all the wayh. And as for apt-get install alsa-utils <blush> I never thought of that!
