      I haven't tried it yet but try using the redhat built rpm. It is in rawhide:

      http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/gaim-2.0.0-0.30.beta6.fc7.i386.rpm

      It looks like they might not backport it to FC6. There might be some dependency problems, so you might have to upgrade some packages.

      Did you build your own from the source rpm or just pinch one from somewhere? I ended up building which sorted out all the depends for me as it was going along

      I haven't played arround with gaim on my FC6 box yet, but on FC5, I have built gaim from svn and from fedora's src rpm package. The main part is to get all the dependencies. I hate building from svn on a new box because you don't know if you have everything you need for a sucessfull compile. I like building from src rpms becuase it will tell you what you need before it starts the compile.
