Attention RedHat and other glibc-based systems users ==================================================== Audio driver ------------ The audio driver included in Red-hat 5.x is old (version 3.5) and contains several bugs that may prevent proper audio/video sync and may reduce the performance of the player. If you have audio-related problems, you may either install a more recent version of the OSS/Free audio driver (3.8s or later), or use the commercial audio driver OSS/Linux. OSS/Free can be obtained from: ftp://ftp.opensound.com/ossfree/ OSS/Linux can be obtained from: http://www.4front-tech.com/linux.html Glibc-based systems ------------------- If you system is glibc-based (e.g. RedHat 5.x or 6.x, SuSE 6.x), you should use packages from the x86-unknown-linux-glibc distribution directory. RPM packages of mtv and xforms are available. Do NOT use the libforms.so.0.xx comes with a RedHat 5.x distribution ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It is bogus (not compiled for glibc). Use only the version of libforms that is distributed together with mtv. A working xforms RPM package is available from ftp://ftp.mpegtv.com/pub/mpeg/mpegtv/player/x86-unknown-linux-glibc/ -- MpegTV
