It looks like you are missing some X libraries.  Are you installing
from an X session or the command line?  The installer is a GUI
so you'll need to do it from an X session.  

We tried it on an FC4 box and it worked fine, but we tend to install
all of the OS, not just selected pieces.  Check to make sure you have
supporting X libraries installed.
