[gentoo-user] realplayer download security problem

2005-11-15 Thread James 
Hello

I've been trying to emerge (install):
media-video/realplayer

I get this error message:

Connecting to helixcommunity.org|207.188.25.135|:443... connected.
ERROR: Certificate verification error for helixcommunity.org: unable to get
local issuer certificate
To connect to helixcommunity.org insecurely, use `--no-check-certificate'.
Unable to establish SSL connection.


I've tried the "--no-check-certificate" as both an emerge option
and as a USE flag, to no avail.

So what am I missing to get the 'emerge realplayer' to work?

Hi,
Some days ago there was such question IIRC.
The problem was: wget isn't compiled with ssl USE-flag, therefore can't
connect to SSL-enabled sites. Compile wget (or other BTW) with "+ssl".
Or pass it some parameter "--no-check-certificate" to connect. man wget.
Or just download it with a browser and copy to distfiles directory.

        Hi,

    Download it manually and drop the file into /usr/portage/distfiles

I had the same problem recently, I solved it by manually downloading it
with wget, just do wget --no-check-certificate URL, then copy over to
/usr/portage/distfiles and rerun emerge command.
