You should be downloading the rpm package from a repository, not the tar
ball. I'm trying to determine if you have a problem with your web
connection, and that is causing your yum failures. Use your browser to
go to
http://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/fedora/linux/updates/11/x86_64/
find the packages
libX11-devel-1.2.2-1.fc11.i586.rpm 12-Jul-2009 08:54 1.1M
libX11-devel-1.2.2-1.fc11.x86_64.rpm 12-Jul-2009 08:54 1.1M
and download the rpms to your system.
Put them in the directory
/var/cache/yum/updates/packages/
Now run
yum update libX11-devel\*
Do the packages install properly?
Errors were encountered while downloading packages.
libXau-devel-1.0.4-5.fc11.x86_64: failure:
libXau-devel-1.0.4-5.fc11.x86_64.rpm from fedora-iisc: (256, 'No more

libXdmcp-devel-1.0.2-8.fc11.x86_64.rpm from fedora-iisc: (256, 'No

what should i do to resolve this.
I can't give you an answer as there is still not enough detail. I
suggest you edit the file /etc/yum.conf and change the entry
debuglevel=2
to
debuglevel=10
so you see lots of output from yum. The actual error should now be
displayed.
Also try looking in the directory
/etc/yum.repos.d/
Do you have the following two files there?
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
What are their contents?
As the other responders said, you haven't shown us the real error yet.
