Did you perhaps install the previous version with a tarball instead of 
RPM?  Try running these commands:
	rpm -qa| grep aim
(will show you all RPM packages with "aim" in the name)
	type gaim
The "type" command will show you the location of the command's binary.  If 
it's in /usr/bin/, then you're using the rpm version.  If it's 
/usr/local/bin, it's a tarballed version.  (Normally, /usr/local/bin takes 
precedence, so you'll probably want to delete that one.)
