 Dasher works fine on a 64 bit system on F15 here.
 My version = dasher-4.10.1-2.fc12.x86_64
 
 It looks like it hasn't been touched in some time though.
 There is a newer version out (4.11) available here:
 http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/Download.html

Which I have in fact reported 4 months ago, without any response:

Request for removal of package from Fedora repositories: dasher.x86_64

Hello,

dasher in Fedora has been broken for me since Fedora 12.

The bug I entered has recently been automatically closed.

dasher doesn't work in 64-bit and can be crashed by asking it to go 
fullscreen.

What's the procedure to get the package removed?

Thanks.

That's a bit premature.  Have you tried contacting any of the other 
maintainers?

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/dasher

If the primary maintainer isn't responding, you could try the following:

Not sure if that will make the difference for you.
