My bad!!!!
Turns out the .so realplayer plugin invokes the realplayer binary, and
does so by searching the system path. It doesn't seem to look in it's
own directory though!
Still not sure why the Beeb require on Real Player though.
If it helps you can look through the source of the iplayer page, find
the .ram url and play it in totem media player. Far from ideal, but it
works. And it doesn't require proprietary realplayer.
