Sorry to butt in here, but just a quick question: I am using realplayer5.0,
installed with rvplayer package from hamm, on a hamm based system. It works,
and it worked first time I installed it. However, I can not for the life of me
play _two_ songs in a row, without reloading the entire web-page; for example
I listen to Cdnow site, hear the first track of whatever album I want to, all
is well and once it is done, I exit the real player, click on the next song,
player comes up and starts, but only noise comes out, and my system resources
get apparently eaten by realplayer, since my mouse works as in very
slow-motion. If I back out of the page, reload it and listen to it a minute
later all is well (until I want to hear the next song). any ideas?

My realaudio setting in netscape (4.05): audio/x-pn-realaudio
/usr/X11R6/bin/rvplayer %s
and
audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
RealVideo Player plugin
TIA

It sounds like you have a crummy sound card like mine, and rvplayer is
playing sounds in 16 bit mode maybe. I get this problem not with rvplayer,
but with quake. Try forcing rvplayer to use 8 bit mode.

 Have any of you guys been able to get RealPlayer 5 running in Linux.  Now 
 that 
 I am over the bash 2.0/Netscape issue I am not able to get RealPlayer 
 running. 
  I always get these errors when I try to open any Real Audio file.
 
 Error 38 : File compression not supported. Cannot locate the requested 
 RealMedia decoder
 
 The codec for this video was not found on your system, please upgrade.

you need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to the current
directory where you have RealPlayer set up. 

On my machine, Real Player is at

$HOME/bin/rvplayer5.0/

so my .bash_profile has

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${HOME}/bin/rvplayer5.0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

this is mentioned in the install documents for rvplayer, I think.

 The version I am using is v5.0.0.35.  RealPlayer even fails with the 
 welcome.rm file that comes with Real Player.
 
 Any help is appreciated.

I take it you're not using the rvplayer debian package? You should try it.
It's only in debian 2.0pre, but it makes installing real player very easy
(and it should work on older debian 1.3 systems as well).

I already have this is my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  I set in my .cshrc to where the 
RealPlayer is installed.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
/usr/local/packages/rvplayer5.0:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/qt/lib

You're right, I read this in the docs.

Hmm, maybe you can stay only with the games...

Take a look at X-Accountant and it's newer counter part (but not yet stable)
Gnucash. I haven't used them yet, but they claim to be Quicken like and
perform Quicken Import. Support for import from Quicken Version 3 QIF
files. If I'm not wrong X-Accountant is in Hamm. The home of these projects
are:

http://www.gnucash.org/xacc/

As you can see they merged.

Quicken almost works with the later versions of wine (but it's not exactly
stable yet).
