It seems my Mandrake names libraries slightly different that what your
Fedora does - I kind of expected this to happen. Could you try
fetching the source RPM package (the one with .src.rpm extension) and
rebuilding it into a binary package on your system ? It should be as
simple as running

    rpmbuild --rebuild hobbit-4.0RC6-4.src.rpm

and after a while it should generate an installable hobbit*.i386.rpm
in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
