You're missing something

This program is looking for libpcap.so.1.1.1, but apparently Fedora 17 only has 1.2.1-2.fc17

Either try to install an older version e.g. from Fedora 16 or create a symlink which may or may not work.

I try to install a libpcap 1.1.1 for a older version, but give me an error because i already have installed libpcap-1.2.1-2.fc17 ,so i uninstall it and my internet connexion broken it and give me a lot of errors...
I dont now how to create a symlink...
Thanks for help, I'm a rookie on linux and specially on fedora

To create the symlink...

If you are using 32 bit Fedora:

Code:

cd /usr/lib/
su -c 'ln -s libpcap.so.1.2.1 libpcap.so.1.1.1'

If you are using 64 bit Fedora:

Code:

cd /usr/lib64/
su -c 'ln -s libpcap.so.1.2.1 libpcap.so.1.1.1'

You will be prompted to enter roots password after entering the second command.
