If you've already downloaded the rpm then do the following from any directory as root or su:

rpm -i gaim-file-name.rpm

when i do that it tells me this

[root@localhost apps]# rpm -i gaim-0.76-0rh9.i386.rpm
warning: gaim-0.76-0rh9.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 883c1c14
error: Failed dependencies:
gtkspell is needed by gaim-0.76-0rh9
libgtkspell.so.0 is needed by gaim-0.76-0rh9

then u need to install gtkspell , libgtkspell.so.0
search for them in rpmfind.net

and if u want to make downloading and installing software easier in the future u should check out apt-get , as u will only type : apt-get install gaim
thats it

or theres a gui for it called synaptic
