For "how to find," try man urpmf.

urpmf exiv
turned up a bunch of stuff, with a couple of things that appear 
pertinent.

First, package exiv2-doc includes a section 8 man page for
exiv2.hpp, suggesting that such a thing exists, or at least once 
existed, or (less likely) is an umbrella name for a variety of 
things.

exiv2-doc:/usr/share/doc/exiv2-doc/html/exiv2_8hpp.html

Second, a whole bunch of .hpp files are contained in 
libexiv2-devel (and corresponding lib64exiv2-devel for 64-bit)
but exiv2.hpp is not among them (though exif.hpp is).
