Jeanette and Denise,
Thanks, but it was the ELF that I downloaded, or if not, the size of the
tar file is identical to the Redhat RPM. Also, I'm running Mandrake 5.3
using the kernel 2.0.36, haven't "gotten courage" for the 2.2.x yet.
Also, most things seem to be going pretty well. If it takes a newer
kernel to get RealPlayer running I guess I'll do it, but I'd like to win
the battle on this front before moving on. Also, I saw a msg some place
on DejaNews where someone said that he/she finally got Netscape to use
rvplayer50 after they'd upgraded to Netscape 4.5x. Again, I'm running
the default Netscape 4.08 that Mandrake sets up on "workstation"
installation.
Maybe I should put it this way:
Has anyone gotten rvplayer50 (a.out, ELF, or rpm) to run smoothly with
kernel 2.0.36, Netscape 4.08, and Mandrake's default workstation
installation? Right now if I go to one of NPR's audio and click on it,
it seems to "load" in 1-2 seconds and then nothing. If I try to
download using netscape (shift+<left-click>), I get a file ~75bytes in
size.
If so, please, tell me how. If not,... I'll jump off a ..., nah, it
ain't that bad, but I would like to be able to hear some of the world
out there.
Thanks,

ps - also on a "sound" note, anyone know which of the KDE (or other x
apps) is capable of recording into an SB-64AWE. Any suggestions which
apps to use to make a short .wav file from the mike input or from an
audio cd-rom?
Thanks, again.
