[gentoo-user] Ebuild for RealPlayer-10.0.4 not working: Aborting before download
Just tried to install mplayer with the real USE-flag set, which results in additional installation of RealPlayer-10.0.4. However, the installation is not working, as there is an error before the download of RealPlayer: Here is what «emerge mplayer» does: emerge (1 of 2) media-video/realplayer-10.0.4 to / Downloading https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/1145/RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401.i586.rpm The URL syntatically wrong! !!! Couldn't download RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401.i586.rpm. Aborting. (sorry for the long lines!) The download url is correct, I can manually download the RealPlayer rpm. My questions: Where expects portage the downloaded RealPlayer to be? Can it just be moved there, or has something else to be done? What means The URL syntatically wrong!, and why spits portage something like this at me, even if the URL is working? Somebody else has this or is it just me? Does it need a bug report or not? And where? RealPlayer or Portage? Urs -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

But if you can download the *.rpm, do so, and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles, and then run the emerge again. Portage will find it is already downloaded and will just continue with the emerge. As for why your download failed with such a weird error, I cannot say, but maybe it has something to do with it being a https:// url? Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
