Another data point:
The rpm that was mentioned in the original post at:
http://www.real.com/realcom/R?href=http%3A%2F%2Fforms%2Ereal%2Ecom%2Freal%2Fplayer%2Fdownload%2Ehtml%3Ff%3Dunix%2FRealPlayer10GOLD%2Erpm
installed using # rpm -Uvh RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
and works fine for me when started from a terminal ($  
/usr/bin/realplay) or from the KDE menu (Multimedia -> RealPlayer 10).
Perhaps a missing dependency that the packager (RealNetworks) failed to 
mention?
