 For starters, can you check the versions of the libraries that RP links
 against, particularly, could you please check if they are the same as
 in your pc? (you can use ldd /.../.../realplayer to find out the
 libraries, and the dpkg -S to find out the packages that provide them)

 If there's a coredump, you can start gdb like this:

 $ gdb /path/to/realplayer core

 and then issue the "bt" command.
