Thanks for your reply. The Helix Player I downloaded was the one linked from the YDL site: Helix Player 1.0.4.752-linux-2.2-libc6-gcc32-powerpc.bin. I see from the link you sent that this is not the latest version, unfortunately. Anyway, I followed the instructions that came with Helix Player, and everything went OK except that the player did not show up in my KDE menu. Then I noticed that there's a shell script "hxplay" in /usr/bin along with "hxplay.bin". I ran that, as root:
# /usr/bin/hxplay That walked me through a brief graphical setup, but Helix Player still does not appear in my KDE menu. Here's what I get if I try to run the binary from a terminal, as a regular user: $ /usr/bin/hxplay.bin ** (hxplay.bin:25684): WARNING **: HXPlayer: Error 0x80004005: "A general error has occurred." ** ERROR **: Could not create helix engine. You must run: export HELIX_LIBS=<path to your helix libs> aborting... Aborted I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong here, but I don't know enough Unix to know what that is. Also, as far as the RealPlayer goes, I do have RealPlayer10 showing up in the K menu, and it appears to run OK--that is, until you ask it to open any kind of Real file (e.g. ".rm"). Then it hangs and has to be force-quit. Thanks, -PRH On Saturday 23 September 2006 12:08, Диакон Николай Станошек wrote: > Dear Paul, > > Which version of Real Player are you using?
