I had similar problems getting the file from NPR to work after using the .deb installer for the real player. I ended up following the advice from the upstream docs, and set the Application preference in Netscape for 'RealAudio' (_not_ 'RealPlayer(tm) as Plug-in') as follows: Description: RealAudio MIMEType: audio/x-pn-realaudio Suffixes: ra,ram Handled By: Application rvplayer %s This worked, but used the external application rather than the plug-in.

Re: Linux On NPR
Oh, I see. I, like Joey, have not found any embedded rpm files that would trigger the plugin. But it looks like you need to tell netscape you have an application that will play .ram and .rm and .ra files. Go to the edit-preferences-advanced-applications line of menus in netscape and find the RealAudio line to see what is defined for that. If it is nothing you will need to set it. the rvplayer has a set of html docs that are accessible from /usr/doc/rvplayer/index.htm I know that is one of the topics there.
