Re: RealPlayer7 causes Netscape 4.72/3 bus error on startup
For what it's worth, the package I got completely failed to install the plugins and mime types, I had to run the relevant scripts by hand. Unfortunately I can't remember if it was an aliened rpm or a deb, but it looked like the packager included the scripts and then forgot to run them. Though I looked at the postintall.sh and it does run the mime type script (but not the plugins script). -chris On Mon, 24 Jul 2000, Pollywog wrote: > > On 24-Jul-2000 Joey Hess wrote: > > Pollywog wrote: > >> I uninstalled the RealPlayer package I had installed with the Debian > >> install > >> package.

This was not a problem when I downloaded the rpm from real.com and then used Alien to make a deb from it. Now I am able to actually use the RealPlayer plugin on Netscape. -- Andrew

Are you using the version of Plugger that installs with Netscape? That is what I have. I believe it does not come with Netscape but that it is part of the Debian installer for Netscape.

I uninstalled the RealPlayer package I had installed with the Debian install package. I made a new Deb package using Alien and the RPM package I downloaded and it works much better. Now I am trying to decide how to have Netscape play mp3 files. Plugger doesn't seem to cut it. -- Andrew

I had removed the whole lot, so just now I reinstalled all the 4.73 debs including the realplayer, and guess what -- it works fine now. I don't know why. I had been installing the realplayer with it's own installer, not the rpm file that the deb wrapper uses. The javascript pages (bigbrother2000) also seem more stable with this 4.73.

I am, in fact, a few moments ago I removed my Debian package for RealPlayer and I download the RPM file and used Alien to make a Deb. This Debian package works much better and I no longer have the problem you mentioned. I was just at BigBrother2000.com and RealPlayer worked great. I am using Netscape 4.73 -- Andrew

I'm running it with woody... And I had no problems. I first installed plugger, then realplayer. I've already used the plug-in, and it's just perfect. -- Jeronimo Pellegrini Institute of Computing - Unicamp - Brazil http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~jeronimo mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
