I have RealPlayer 7 (binary .tgz) installed and it depends on glibc.

~$ ldd /usr/local/bin/realplay 
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001c000)
        libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x400f9000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4010d000)
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4011a000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40163000)

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40259000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40262000)

However, I don't know if there's an installer for RP 7...
