pidgin on fedora/redhat

hi guys, I am trying to install pidgin on my redhat.

yum search pidgin is showing nothing to do and no package is found

I want to install the text based pidgin not the graphical one. is it finch? how can i install them using yum? can you give me the steps please?

i read in somewhere that I should update the yum repository file? what is that? how should i do it?

thanks in advance.

cheers,
messi
