Now isn't that funny-- I just installed that same version of RealPlayer-- also as a dependency of mPlayer-- and did not have any such error. But if you can download the *.rpm, do so, and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles, and then run the emerge again. Portage will find it is already downloaded and will just continue with the emerge. As for why your download failed with such a weird error, I cannot say, but maybe it has something to do with it being a https:// url? Hope this helps, Holly -- [email protected] mailing list
