Open a terminal and go su and do: (copy and paste this):

rm -rf /opt/real/RealPlayer/

Nah - it won't work - there is no real directory in /opt

I'll try this, but first I have to figure out how to remove the existing mess.

It doesn't sound like you ran the install as root, because you have no /real in /opt

So there should be little to worry about. What mess do you see exactly.
