/slakware/d1/strace.tgz - 105 K executable and I cannot figure out how to
use it because manpages are written in a language that I can't understand.
Documentation (doc files) are about installation, not use.
strace realplay lists it all on the screen and I can scroll back
a few screens but there are lots of them. How do I save to a file?
I tried -o filename and --f -o filename.
Thanks, James, and I hope strace solves this problem.
I was wondering if I did not install all the necessary files.
There were complaints about locale files missing and also icon files in
root/icon and /usr/X11R6/include/X11/icons. A search in MANIFEST.gz did
not find /root/icon or /X11/icon. I would have suspected that I am
missing something in xlib or xbin packages but I installed them on one
computer and realplay still exited on that computer with segmentation
fault. The realplay window appears just before it exits.
I have deleted anything to do with locale on all our computers and
realplay still installed and runs on one of them (the 475MHz).
Maybe I will set up a test computer with ALL of the complete packages for
X, including locales, and Xvga (16-color) - realplayer installed in 16
colors with complaints on the one computer where it works. If I get a seg
fault, then move the hard drive to the faster computer and try again. If
it works, then delete one file at a time to see what is actually needed.
RP10 needs 350MHz so I am stuck with RP8. RP7 is not available for
download, which means you need a 120MHz pentium at the minimum for RP.
Some people wrote in that RP7 worked for them and RP8 crashed.
