Hey Phil,

If the file: /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo is not on your system then you
can be sure that the EPEL repo is not installed correctly on your system.

By now the locate database will have been rebuilt.  Try:

[mlapier@mushroom yum.repos.d]$ locate epel.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

If that fails to find your wayward file then you can be sure that EPEL
repo did not install.  If you do manage to find the epel.repo file just
move it to the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

If it's not on your system at all then you have to force install with yum.
