AFAIK, no released version of gaim works with Yahoo due to Yahoo (again)
changing the protocol in an (presumably) attempt to keep clients Yahoo
didn't make themselves from using their servers.

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ has a note related to that at the top.

They're working on it.

Upgrade to Gaim 0.76 as soon as it comes out.

Or if you really need Yahoo to work, you can go to
http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/download/unix.html and download the
official client and use that until gaim has Yahoo support working again.
