I installed Realplayer by running make clean install in its port

got any ideas?

(gdb) run

Doesn't this just mean you forgot to set DISPLAY?

Thanks very much for your reply. It's possible, especially as I don't know
how! Could you tell me where I would do that and what it should be set to?
I guess a question that is obvious to many of us is, "are you attempting
to run realplayer from the console?"
It is a GUI app, so you would need to start it after or along with an
X session. For example, start X, run a xterm, and then run realplay...
If you are trying to run realplay from console, then the "unable to
open display" error would be, well, expected.
Pardon my forwardness, I just thought it might be worth mentioning.
