After downloading it, type (while logged in as root):

I called it a "development release", but it has been out for a few weeks
and I have not received any bug reports yet, so you can use it.

By default, when you install TRPlayer, your system is not set up to start
TRPlayer when you follow a link to a RealMedia stream from a Web
browser. So one way to listen to something using TRPlayer is to download
the .ram or .smil file from Lynx using the d command, save it to your home
directory, and then start TRPlayer with that file name on teh command
line. To get a list of command-line options and keyboard commands,
tyep: trplayer -h
