On my Apple Cube that I use for Asterisk, "yum info libidn" shows this:

Name   : libidn
Arch   : ppc
Version: 0.5.4
Release: 1
Size   : 569.34 kB
Group  : System/Libraries
Repo   : Yellow Dog Linux 4.0 Base
Summary: Internationalized Domain Name support library
Description:
  GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and
IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain
Names (IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain
names.


So you're probably missing the libidn and libidn-devel packages.
