$HOME is your home directory. It is just an example - I'd put it
somewhere else, such as /usr/local/lib/rvplayer5.0. BTW, you've re-
ferred to /root - you really shouldn't run programs as root, but make
a user and log in as that user.

The way I've set it up is that a shell script is in /usr/local/bin that
sets up the environment for rvplayer, which really is in /usr/local/lib.
This keeps the environment changes more local -- to the shell script,
rather than applied to the whole user environment. In my view, it's
cleaner.

(Speaking of rvplayer though, it does not emit any sound with 2.0.34
compiled with mad16. This has been an ongoing problem for me, and
I've solved it for the most part by running 2.1.76 with a patch or two.
I guess those patches didn't make it into 2.0.34 (I got it off of
ftp.kernel.org Saturday.)
