Re: could not install realplayer on arch 64

This came up before:

You're trying to run a 32 bit RealPlayer on a 64 bit machine without all of the necessary 32 bit libraries. This is a very elusive error because, as you already know, the binary is in fact right where you say it is.

You have a few choices. You can find out what all of the dependencies for RealPlayer are and install their lib32 counterparts and see if that works. Or, you can try the 64 bit client that was linked to in the other thread. (Today was the first that I've heard of it.) Or, you can use Mplayer which has native support of RealPlayer codecs now.
