minicom insatllation

I installed Fedora 12 in my PC and after that when I tried to use minicom it was not installed. I tried copying the executable of minicom in /usr/bin from another PC and tried using it. But, I was not able to enter any commands in minicom…

Can any one suggest me what to do

Thanks in advance

Why get yourself into trouble with binaries from another distro? You should install from the Fedora 12 repo, perhaps something like:

yum install minicom
