terminate yum should help

Are you sure you that the package exists, that you are spelling the package name correctly and in all lowercase? Remember,

#yum install ABC

is different from

#yum install abc

The first one won't work since all package names in Fedora's repositories are in lowercase. The second one will work if package abc exists. If you aren't sure of the name of a package, you can install a graphical front end to yum like pirut which should already exist or yumex. You can then use these to browse through Fedora's repositories and check the packages you would like to install.

Also check that you don't have the software already installed.
