Try installing the Planet CCRMA Grace package (if you have the Planet 
CCRMA repositories active):

   yum install cm-grace

and then run /usr/bin/Grace.
It does start here on fedora 14 as a normal user.

(most likely there is a missing library with the binary you downloaded, 
try an "ldd Grace" to see what is missing).
