Yup, P133 (was 32MB/now 96MB, but RealPlayer did work before the upgrade).
The system is most definitely sufficient. I'd rather suspect some setup
problem with regard to libraries. When I installed RealPlayer on my RHL 4.2
system, I downloaded the tarball, installed it and then wrote a wrapper
script for RealPlayer. In that wrapper script, I make sure that
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and a few other environment variables are set correctly. I
was not able to get RealPlayer to work without that wrapper, and I remember
getting similar errors to yours at that time.
If so requested, I can forward that wrapper script some time tomorrow (my
Linux box is at home).
HTH,
Thomas
