You must mean helix player,  the open source variant. I don't think it can be compiled on amd64. This is the official build log

And anyway AFAIK helix player is pretty crippled, and realplayer is still needed to play file types not handled by mplayer and friends.

I read a pretty extensive discussion of some of the Gentoo community attempts to build on 64 bit, and they were saying that it's an absolute nightmare to even move forward an inch, let alone the miles it would take to pull it off.
