I have KDE 3.5 going so an X session is up and running, but I think it may 
still be an X problem. I've compared the output of ldd realplay.bin against 
what is found in /compat/linux/usr/lib, /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, 
and /usr/X11R6 and found that some are missing. I did a portupgrade -R 
linux-realplayer, but this changed nothing. The missing libraries are:

        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x282da000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x2878a000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x28886000)
        libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x2888e000)
        libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x28892000)
        libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0x2889b000)
        libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x2889e000)
        libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0x28938000)
        libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x28941000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x2894a000)
       
I'm using Xorg. I am definitely no expert but I think that these are mostly 
non-Xorg. Does using Xorg mean no realplayer?

Thanks,

Oliver
