Very Computer

I am trying to get RealAudio working on my FreeBSD 3.1-Release running
XFree86 and KDE.

I have downloaded the RealAudio Player 3.0 for FreeBSD (dynamic).
however when I run "./raplayer welcome.ra" I get the following error
message: "ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libc.so.2.2""

Upon furter investigation I do not have that libc.so file, however I do
have the following libc.so files:

/usr/lib/compat/aout/libc.so.3.0
/usr/lib/compat/aout/libc.so.3.1
/usr/lib/libc.so.3

can I simply ln to one of these to resolve the problem?  How would
I accomplish this task?

Also, I noticed that when asked which version to download from Real, it
had FreeBSD (Static) and FreeBSD (Dynamic).  What's the difference?

Thank you for your time,

Ok, I have played a little with this and I think I have made some
progress.

I noticed a port in /usr/ports/audio/ for the linux version of Real
Player 5.0.  I also installed the LINUX libraries and they seem to
enabled.  After installing from the port all seems good.

I am able to start the player also.  However, here is the problem.

It would seem any clip I try to play (all from the INet) I get a message
to upgrade my player.  I am thinking that I have the latest version
(5.0.0.45) and I was wondering if there was a clip someone knew that
worked with this player.

I am thinking there is a problem with something... but would like to
sample a clip that is supposed to work with the version that I have.

Thank you for your time,
Stephane R.

Dynamic means that the executable needs to be linked at runtime against
some system libraries.  This results in a smaller binary but has the
drawback of being dependent on the outside lib.  A static binary has
everything necessary linked into the binary.  The result:  a larger
binary but no dependence on outside libs.  You have two options at your
disposal:

1.  Install the static version.
2.  Install the 2.1 compatibility tar ball from your FreeBSD
distribution.  It contains the libc.so.2.2 library.

If you chose option 2, don't forget to run "ldconfig -m" as root.

I think that it is meant to upgrade to the G2 Real player, but there's
no linux version of it :-(((.
