No, you cannot use this version (the memory allocator will not work anyway). 
Please build your own version by looking at 
http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/wiki/CompilingFromHg and ask questions at 
IRC ( irc.freenode.net #mupen64plus ).

This is not a bug, but just not the right version for your distribution. 
Unfortunately, fedora is not the best distribution for emulators anyway:
