Mike:  Hmmm...good point - it is connected to the internet, but I've 
not seen this particular interface nomenclature before:

There is a wireless interface also (wlan0) but it's not being used.

OK, will pop the other (Raspbian) SD card back in and try this.

Peter:  Sorry, I didn't make it clear that the above was on Ubuntu (ran 
rpi-update), then it segfaulted with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (before the 
rpi-update, it did come up OK, though didn't play sound with videos).

I would eventually like to get this running on Ubuntu, but will pop the 
Raspbian card back in and play with it some more, will let you know if I 
get it to run.
