For years I have created a $HOME/bin directory for just this case. 
Add the bin directory to my PATH in .bash_profile and go from there.

Any scripts that I write and use, I put in this directory.  They are 
not available to different accounts.

But as others have said, get the rpm for unrar.
rar-3.5.1-1.2.fc4.rf
unrar-3.5.4-1.2.fc4.rf
