>Description:
The linux RealPlayer G2 beta is expired. However, there is now a
linux RealPlayer 7 beta available. This is a package for the
RealPlayer 7 beta. (It also installs the RealPlayer plugin into
the netscape plugins directory)
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to run previously-installed RealPlayer G2 beta, see expiration
message. Go to web site.
>Fix:
Get ftp://ftp.wheaton.edu/pub/jdarrow/realplayer7.tgz and extract
it into pkgsrc/audio/realplayer7.
(Note that the install process for RealPlayer7 has gotten much more
intrusive than before - now it wants to install plugins, mime types,
KDE icons, etc. in $HOME, along with registration - all from the
install process, instead of waiting for the first run! This makes
a multiuser installation such as this much harder...)
