Really? 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.
