Maybe you have an outdated dcraw package, or you are missing a plugin
or similar.  In such circumstances, the solution would to go through
the painstaking process of downloading gimp development packages for
your distribution, and building dcraw from source.

Logically, my head tells me that

yum install gimp-devel

should work, although I've never used Fedora, as above.

Then, presuming you have necessary packages like tar, gzip, make and
gcc on your system (I don't remember if they're part of Fedora's
default install) you can simply go:

tar -xvzf dcraw-x-y-z.tar.gz
cd dcraw-x-y-z
./configure
make

and then

# make install

[meaning run "make install" as root, either via su, sudo, or under
root from a terminal login]

similar to many other programs when building from source.  But there's
no research behind this -- and hopefully dcraw comes with better
and/or more detailed instructions in the package (if any).

Like above, this is all guesses, and more likely than not unhelpful. 
A user of Fedora probably has a better answer.
