Guest merixa Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 (edited) Hi@all I am using Mandriva 2006. I installed Realplayer and HelixPlayer without any error. Both of them under /usr/local/ directory. I read many threads. Reagarding threads, I tried to run it from its directory by command. I am getting following error. [root@Home RealPlayer]# realplay *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x082c6050 *** /usr/bin/realplay: line 75: 4522 Aborted $REALPLAYBIN "$@" please help Edited November 6, 2005 by merixa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manmath sahu Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I am also facing the similar problem on mandriva 2008. Realplayer installation was smooth. But it just does not respond at all. Please anybody help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 I have RealPlayer running fine on Mandriva 2005, so I can only guess regarding your problem with Mandriva 2008. I would suggest that your try installing the latest version directly from the RealPlayer website, and not bother with the version supplied by Mandriva.

scarecrow Posted December 25, 2007 Report Share Posted December 25, 2007 Thou should not run Realplayer (or any other GUI'ed program) as root. Run it as you should (= common user) and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 FWIW I have run Helixplayer with Realplayer codecs on every release since starting with Mandrake 10.0 with little or no problems. I did once download from realplayers site to see if it was any better and found no difference in performance and stability. To run as a plugin for Firefox is infinitely easier now as there is no copying of plugins to the correct folder, it is handled by the mozilla-plugin from the repos. Most definitely as Scarecrow says run as an ordinary user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
