All things related to multicast

[Bob Gerdes <>]

Here are some comments from someone on campus who got it to work with 
Ubuntu.

----------

OK, I got it working on my Ubuntu 7.10 linux system. I needed to add a 
library that is missing from the standard install-- the 
"libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2" package. However, the NIU server was 
demonstrating the same player launch problem and it came right up once I 
installed the library.

It was a pretty simple fix:

1. 'apt-get install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2' *
2. restart Firefox (2.0.0.14)
3. relaunch the VF player
I understand that this library is not present in the Hardy (8.04) 
repository. I imagine one
could simply download the package file and force an install with 'dpkg -i 
<package_file>'

For grins, I checked it using Sun Java 1.5.0 and Sun Java 1.6. Both 
worked OK as far as I could tell.
