I want to install pdgin.so I type ¨yum install pdgin¨

[root@linuxbook MPlayer-1.0rc2]# yum install pdgin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Nothing to do

Nothing to do usually means that the package is already installed. Try

rpm -qa | grep -i pidgin

If it's installed you will see results similar to this

[glenn@coolhand ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i pidgin
pidgin-2.5.3-1.fc10.i386

This shows that pidgin is indeed already installed on my Fedora 10 system. However, since you're using Fedora 6 I suspect that the problem may be that there are no repositories available since Fedora 6 is well past EOL.

Or it could mean that it's spelled wrong.

Try:

# yum install pidgin

Nice catch Roxoff

The program you want is pidgin. You must be connected to the Internet for yum to work.

yum install pidgin

Also, FC6 is outdated and no longer supported. If it is not a production system you use, you should consider installing latest version Fedora 10.
