libdecnumber is not installed. It's a library used by GCC itself.
It's not intended to be a user library. Users are expected to simply
write code using _Decimal32, etc., as described at
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.0/gcc/Decimal-Float.html .
I believe you can find a user version of this library at
http://download.icu-project.org/files/decNumber/ .
