Re: [UUG/MLUG] Realaudio help

Yeah, I forgot the redirection thing ;)  rpm pretty much blows as far as
I'm concerned... kludge on top of kludge...  As far as the core dumps go -
are you sure you have glibc2 (libc6) libraries under the linux emulation?
RealPlayer requires these, I do believe.  You can get the most up-to-date 
linux emulation files by fetching the packages that start with "suse_*"
from the NetBSD ftp site.  Hope this helps with the core dump problem.  It
seems that my NetBSD machine died.  I'll have to research it when I don't
have programming to do. I could never get RealPlayer to work correctly
under Slackware 4, either.  I'll be upgrading my linux machine to 
Slackware 7 sometime this week, as it has full glibc2 support.  Have a
good one.
