Hi David,

You don't need RealPlayer to listen to RealAudio streams if you have
both mplayer and the relevant realaudio codec. You can use Realplayer
alone to listen to realaudio streams, but it won't allow you to save
them.

>From your error messages it looks like you may, in the past, have
installed a deb called helix-player which is conflicting with the
realplay deb you are now trying to install.

The biggest problem with using listenagain.sh is finding the actual .ram
file, as I wrote in an earlier post.

Seb
