This is purely a C++ programming error. (Pun intended.)
In simple terms, a pure virtual function is a class method that is
intended to be a placekeeper, but NOT called as provided in the
class--the programmer using the class that contains it is expected to
provide functional code to accomplish whatever the method is really
supposed to do. That message means that, somewhere, a programmer
forgot to do this.
This _can_ happen because of a mismatch of shared libraries and/or
program, but more often someone goofed in the code. Although why it
would hit only you--or, at least, you're the only complaint I've seen
here--for a piece of distributed software is hard to fathom. Maybe someone
who's worked more with Real Player will recognize library mismatches?
