Are you saying that you recompiled mplayer but the realplayer libraries
weren't found during configuration, or are you saying that you added the
realplayer libraries and the pre-compiled mplayer binary doesn't
recognize .rm files?  

mplayer doesn't know the libraries are available unless it first found
the libraries during the configuration/compilation process.
