Trplayer problems.

Trplayer problems.

[Thomas Ward]

Hello, list. I finally got around to putting trplayer on my system again, 
and found it won't work under Red Hat 8.0.
It complains about not finding libslang which of course I have installed, 
but trplayer insists I don't have it.
When I tried to build from source the configure script complains about me 
having the Real Player sdk.

Ok, here are some questions. Has any Red Hat 8 users figured out a way to 
fix this problem?If I have to build from source which looks likely were do 
I obtain the sdk from, and is it free?
On the other hand how to I install the older libslang libraries without 
breaking the current installs which my 8.0 system needs. Thanks.

Hi, Thomas:

I'm running RH 8, and I'm not having a problem with trplayer. Did you
install RealPlayer 8? Did you install compat-slang-1.4.5-2.i386.rpm?

Thanks, Janina. It turns out the compat-slang package was missing. I just 
added it, and trplayer is working now.
