   I have been told by a local techie that segmentation faults occur when a 
program cannot find a library (or something) that it needs to continue.

   If you are getting segmentation faults with RealPlayer8 maybe you should 
be looking to make sure that all the libraries and other packages for X are 
present, and that you haven't selectively cherry-picked from the full packages
but left something out.

   If I am wrong, please correct me Gurus !

Regards,
          Ron
