I don't know whether the install media you used has the package you are 
looking for. If you have the DVD handy, then setting up a local repo 
will let you use yum to install it. This thread might be of help,

If the DVD doesn't have the package you can try finding the dependencies 
from services like rpbone or rpmfind and downloading the corresponding 
rpms from the fedora repositories. Then you can use
$ rpm -ivh *.rpm
