Very Computer

I got the exact same problem...  Real will not post a new version any soon.
I could get it to run any better as root.  The only way I found was to back
-date my system.  I guess we have to stay tuned to Real's site...

I installed the linux realplayer G2 beta back in July and it's
been working fine.  Today it informed me that it had expired
and I need to update it from real's web site.

OK, fine.  But I don't see any update for the linux version
available.  Nor does there appear to be one I can purchase.  

What gives?  How can I make this thing work?

Same problem here. Looks like it's happening to everybody.
What's going on?

Intel and Microsoft already have plenty of money, so don't give them yours.

Yanno, I just installed it today, and I can run it under root, but when I
run it as single user, I get the same error.  Hav you tried it as root
yet?

Mine too. Damn.

I discovered the same problem if I download the RH 5.2/6.0 (RPM) update.

However, if I load the Linux 2.0/2.2 update, I get a new version which

No joy:

This beta version of RealPlayer G2 for Unix(tm) has
expired.  Please contact RealNetworks (www.real.com) for the
latest version.

Nah... p*ss on it.  I'll just live without real for a while.

Hi...I received an email form Real saying that a new version is available
as a self-extracting installer.
The RPM is not available yet.

Seems to work fine.

        Do me a favour, and run ldd on that new versio nof realplayer,
and also the output of 'ls -l /lib/libc.so* . I'm interested in knowing
if Real actually got the libc problem down. Most likely, they didn't,
but let me know what that is. Thanks in advance.

ls -l /lib/libc.so* gives:

Don't y'all remember where you got it from the first time?

..and is totally useless.  It can't retrieve more than a few seconds
wirth from the internet, breaks up continuously when reading a file and
will not install so as to run from netscape.  Just another piece o' shit
software.

Seems OK here. I just listened to a 48 minute piece on the
NPR web site and it worked fine.

It works fine here also. I listened to a hockey game the other night.
It even gets along with esd.
