I tried the official Fedora 8 package and got the same problem you had.

In fact, the problem seems to be the blender scrits. When blender starts, it
creates symbolic links for all of its scripts in ~/.blender/scripts.

If I use my version (even the 2.47 one), leave the links in ~/.blender/scripts,
and then install Fedora version, I can load yafaray.

I do not have anything special in the version I compile, but ffmpeg.
We have to try to figure out what is causing the problem.

Can you just try this version and see if it works for you?

I am going to make a diff of the spec files.

Thanks.
