Yeah. The RealPlayer FAQ / troubleshooting guide discusses this, but you
basically need to point RealPlayer at its libraries, as:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/mason/rvplayer5.0;        export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

In this case, rvplayer5.0 is a directory in my home directory that contains
all RealPlayer's shared libraries. This would probably be better situated in
some system place, but... <shrug>

Anyway, the line, above, is inserted in my /usr/pkgsrc/bin/navigator-[foo]
script.

Have fun!
