The "Linux 2.x (libc6 i386) RPM" is the one you want, but you may need
to install from the command line.  The instructions on the download page
say

  4.Once you've successfully completed the download, you will
    be ready to install the RealPlayer.

     Rename the uncompressed file.

     Type mv rp7_linux20_libc6_i386_cs1_rpm
rp7.linux20.libc6.i386.cs1.rpm

     To install this package, use the standard rpm install command.
     You must be logged in as root to install this package.

     Type rpm -i rp7.linux20.libc6.i386.cs1.rpm

     For Red Hat 5.x installations: Employ the --nodeps option of the
     RPM installer.Users updating current installations should use the
     --force option.

So, if you are having problems, try (from the console, as root)

     rpm -i --nodeps rp7.linux20.libc6.i386.cs1.rpm

or

     rpm -i --nodeps --force rp7.linux20.libc6.i386.cs1.rpm

Good luck!
