In short, don’t even try it anymore.
The Unix version is so outdated that it’s laughable. The version you are trying to install is for Red Hat v9, which I know is at least 5 years old.
You would be better off using a native Linux client anyway, like Pidgin or Kopete. They would be more up to date and have better support too.
But if you must use something from Yahoo, there is the web-based version at http://webmessenger.yahoo.com. It will have the Yahoo brand and work from within your web browser.
