There probably is no squid-devel.  Whoever wrote the spec file for the 
RPM decides how to partition out the installable files generated by 
building the project.  If the project does not seem to create libraries 
or include header files that other projects will want to touch, no 
-devel RPM is generated by the specfile.

It seems what you need is the SRPM: have a look in here:
