    Most likely you have to install unrar.
    Try installing it from the packagemanager and try again.

    Ok. next time I won't reply so soon anymore.
    But did you try to install unrar via the yum repositories or only by donwloading it?

    yum install unrar

    It is in the repositories and this way maybe xarchive can also use it (works that way with gnome filerunner).

    P.s.
    I might be a acer aspire one newbie and fedora newbie but I've been using Linux (debian) for more than a decade now.
