Real Player works fine. I'm curious what real player has to do with your avifile problem. If it does crash on your system however, I would not at all be surprised. Considering what you've told me about your system: 1) You hate RPM, and using RPM packages, so you install everything from source 2) IIRC you use "relink", and install stuff in nonstandard locations because that is your prefered way. 3) You've replaced core system components with these home brewed versions, such as SDL, and various other libraries. 4) Also IIRC, you do not use the system supplied C compiler. Whenever you encounter any problem using your own rolled compiler, own libraries, kernel, directory structure, and any error message is ever displayed on the screen for any reason, be it during compile, link, or runtime - it is a Red Hat Bug(tm) in the buggy unstable unnofficial unsupported Red Hat C compiler, or in the Red Hat buggy glibc, or pull something random out of a hat and blame it on that. You provide zero facts, and zero useful technical information to back up your bogus claims, of which you are the sole person experiencing. Before one can claim a bug exists in something, one should learn how to use strace, gdb, and other development tools to debug the problem, rather than jumping to random conclusions based on little to no factual evidence. If you're going to compile all your own software, you're going to have to no how to debug it also. I'll bet good money, the problem lay under /opt and/or /usr/local. Please be rational, and find the true sources of your problems by debugging them rather than spinning a gun around in a circle and firing aimlessly. It is not very becoming of you. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
