well a quick glance at the repository you referenced shows:
"WARNING: Renke Brausse has informed me there are some issues with
the current x86_64 rpms. We're working on resolving these as quickly
as possible. Thanks for your patience."
quite prominently displayed on their home page.

IMHO your problem likely has more to do with the "(b)leading edge of
GNOME software for each stable Fedora Core release." you obtained from
nrpms.net than anything to do with fedora core 4 itself.

You'll probably have more luck at:
