Under what name? $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 15 (Lovelock) $ sudo yum search libfdt Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Warning: No matches found for: libfdt No Matches found $ sudo yum search fdt Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit ================================= Matched: fdt ================================= eclipse-photran-intel.noarch : Intel Fortran compiler support for Photran I actually spent several hours looking for libfdt a weekend or two ago without success and eventually gave up. Perhaps I simply have no idea what I'm looking for, but that said, I suspect many others won't know either. Please also add some INSTALL and/or wiki documentation about how to find sources and/or pre-built packages for common distros. r~
