thanks rumen-

tried your suggestion and found a different version named 
HelixPlayer-1.0.6.778-20050916.i586.rpm on the helix site. i downloaded the 
rpm and copied it to /usr/portage/distfiles with its correct name, then with 
HelixPlayer replaced with RealPlayer and even one copy with the version data 
fudged to match. but with all three i got the same result. next tried 
--usepkg, same thing, no luck yet...

thanks again
