ya i tried that as well but it just executes normally and does nothing. It never opens realplayer up.

For some reason, the only way I could get it to launch as a normal user, was to install it into my home directory. I tried putting it in /usr/local and just changing the permissions and ownership of it, but that didn't work. Works OK from my home dir, though.

I have the same problem with RealOne/Realplayer9. A quick scan with strace reveals the following snippet:

rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, ~[], [RTMIN], = 0
open("/home/jrt/Real/Common/objbrokr.so.0.1", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [RTMIN], ~[KILL STOP], = 0
write(3, "<\0\2\0\0\0@\0+D\1\0", 12) = 12
read(3, 0xbffff080, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(4, [3], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [3])
read(3, "\1\0\r\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\2\0\0\0\2516A"..., 32) = 32
shutdown(3, 2 /* send and receive */) = 0
close(3) = 0
_exit(-2147467259) = ?

Which explains why it works when you install it in your home directory! Not sure why it is looking for this directory in the user's home directory though!?!

A workaround is to create a symlink from the Real/ in the Realplayer9 directory to Real/ in your home area!
