[S.u.S.E. Linux] RealAudio, Communicator & SuSE 5.2 *Update*

Here's the scoop: To get a SuSE 5.2 system up with OSS Commercial drivers and RealAudio 5.0 I did the following: Grabbed the following files - rv50_linux20.tar.gz RealAudio osslinux39d-2034.tar.gz OSS (This costs...$20.00) Take oss files and put them in /tmp . run ./oss-install and take the defaults as they work fine. Next, take the RealAudio files and de-compress in a good place. Open your browser to ~/rvplayer5.0/index.htm and follow the instructions with caveat of doing this: I put info on the location of RealAudio at .bash_profile and here's mine: ---------------------------------------------------------------- # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$HOME/.pgp:$HOME/rvplayer5.0 ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="W.D.McKinney" MOZILLA_HOME=/opt/netscape export MOZILLA_HOME export USERNAME ENV PATH export PGPPATH=~/.pgp LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/rvplayer5.0 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is a quick fix and it works fine. Here's the next step, move the files from /rvplayer5.0/Mailcap & Mime.types and copy them to your home sub-directory as .mime.types and .mailcap These are important. You may just need to edit them if you have them already. I'm listening to the radio now continuously with RealAudio and no problems at all.

What's up with the ftp.suse.com site? Or a few mirrors for that matter. I "cannot" grab any of the files from /pub/suse_update/KDE/* that are large, as in the qt dev 1.33, kdadmin, etc. What happens is that I get a timeout after 2% transfer, end of story. I have not had *any* other problems ftp'ing off other sites, even grabbed Staroffice 4.0 without a hitch. This is getting annoying, since I wanted to try the latest KDE and QT stuff. Anyone know of a reliable mirror site? Dana -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
