Hi,

Thanks very much for your e-mail! Here are the details from 

% yum list fribidi
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
fribidi.i586           0.19.2-1.fc11         installed

Clearly this is installed. But yum provides */libfribidi0*

I wonder if there is a conflict with something else.

Best wishes,
Trotter
