Do you have the xfsprogs RPM installed?

Same RPM, although keep in mind that the function of fsck.xfs (as the
rather droll man page points out) is to "do nothing, successfully".

That's Something Completely Different -- the X font server.

I've never used the installer, but it looks like it missed some stuff.
First, make sure that you are running an XFS kernel ('uname -a'). Then
make sure that you have the userland stuff installed -- at least xfsprogs
and xfsprogs-devel.
Then have another go at it.
