That is the only file you need. Just make sure it is installed under
/usr/lib with the tar command and you are in business. The trplayer
program substitutes for the executable portion of RealPlayer, so all you
need is its libraries - no configuration required.

If you u;npack the archive correctly it will be entirely in
/usr/lib/RealPlayer8. If you put it in the wrong place, just use 'mv' to
move the RealPlayer8 directory to /usr/lib. You can put trplayer anywhere
you want on the executable path, it knows how to find the RealPlayer8
libraries.
