The standalone program ``rvplayer'' can  be invoked by ANY program, such
as ANY netscape  and will work. The Linux  shared library librvplayer.so
however can (currently) only be loaded  into a Linux executable, such as
Linux netscape.

P.S. Is  there any work in  progress to enable mixing  Linux and FreeBSD
binaries in one process?
