Does anyone know if it's the RealPlayer, or the new kernel 2.2.3 and the sound system?

If I am not mistaken (wouldn't be the first time), Realplayer 5.0 is not compatible with the 2.2.x kernel. I dl awhile back and I think I traced the error message back to the RV site. There is supposed to be a patch, I think, but I could never get it to work. zentara wrote:

I just tried to play a Realaudio file with Suse6, and Rvplayer5.0 and got a general error.

I did a library dependency and it seems I'm missing some libs. libg++.so.27 => not found libstdc++.so.27 => not found libm.so.5 => not found libc.so.5 => not found

...

I'm going to try and copy them into my cache from my old 5.3 setup and see if it works.

Well I setup symlinks, and copied my old libs into suse6 and did a ldconfig. The Realplayer has all of it's ldd dependencies satisfied, yet it still won't work.

It starts to play, then it's stops with Gerneral Error 1.
