yahoo in Gaim

I just installed Redhat 9 and the version of Gaim it came with needed to be updated to support yahoo, which I did, but when I try to connect I get an error that says "Could not read". I connect to my aim account very easily though.
anyone have experience with this?

You can try good old rpm -Uvh your.package.here.rpm. You may need to log in as root [su before.
