I had not done swapon swapfile (I checked with free) so this time I typed in all four lines. In the old email where I found the info there was no swapon line. Free shows that I now have 160MB RAM and realplay still won't run. I suppose I could try 192MB RAM to prove something, since that is what is on the computer where RP works. Nope, still won't work even with 160MB swapfile and 80MB RAM.

Would real RAM work better for some reason?

It is taking about 6-7 sec before it crashes.

Will this swapfile go away when I reboot? I tried to remove it with swapoff swapfile and I still have 160MB swapfile.

Steven, do you think Helixplayer would work on BL3? I presume it also requires X.

You lost the bet. I made a swap file of 160MB (I thought I had posted
this info but it seems to have gone astray) and RP still exits with
segmentation fault. The remaining experiment would be to move the hard
drive to the faster computer and see what RP does in that situation.

I think you forgot to do "swapon swapfile." There still may be a chance
of winning this bet :). Here'a a flashback from May 25th, 2003 Basiclinux

Here's one for a 64mb swap file:
---------------------------------------------
cd /
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1k count=65536
mkswap swapfile
sync
swapon swapfile
---------------------------------------------

If you did miss that step, as it appears from your post, you did not add
any extra memory. Run "free" to be sure the swapfile got activated.
Also, did you try sticking in the extra RAM chip?
