The WARNING message you got does not stop the installation, it's just that... a warning. Some folks are very security-conscious and will only install digitally-signed packages (this is important for system-critical stuff like on servers). The warning just says that the RPM you downloaded doesn't have a digital signature. I've never had any problems with this.

Yay, Techiemoe saves the day, But now, even though Gaim is installed, when I click on it the AIM buddy just jumps next to the mouse and then closes, it wont work.

You could try the autopackage. Instructions for installing an autopackage here.

you can also get it through apt-get, which would resolve dependancies for you...and hopefully remove those error messages...
