This seems to be the error message that rvplayer gives in response to just about every difficulty---very unhelpful. When I had this problem (or at least a problem that resulted in the same error-message), it turned out to be because rvplayer couldn't find the relevant libraries where it itself had installed them. What I did was to figure out which shared libraries the program depended on (using the ldd command). I saw that it knew how to find those libraries, and that they were in /usr/lib. When I made symbolic links from /usr/lib/libra* to the various libraries that rvplayer had itself installed in /usr/local/rvplayer5.0/, everything worked (well ... after I changed the permissions on /dev/dsp, everything worked). I don't know if this is your problem though .... Jim
