Hi,
It appears as though after the recent ports/emulators/linux_base version 
bump ( see ports/UPDATING), that the Linux X11 libraries are not 
appearing in /usr/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.cache.

realplayer was not the only affected port - acroread was also affected; 
both are linux binaries which run under emulation.

Another fix is to do the following:
1) Add the following line to /usr/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf:
/usr/X11R6/lib
2) Re-run /usr/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig.

This will cause the runtime ELF linker cache for the Linuxolator to be 
regenerated with the location of the Linux X11 libraries added to the 
search path, and thus the libraries should then appear in the cache.

You should then be able to run acroread, realplayer etc. without further 
problems, even after a reboot.
