how do you folks resolve dependencies

[iinfi]

i m using fedora 8 at the moment. i downloaded pam_mount rpm from sourceforge and created a repo for it along with other rpms in the fedora dvd and did a yum install.
following are the two missing dependencies which i face. how do i proceed from here?
tried creating symbolic links to files libcrypto.so.0.9.8b, and libssl.so.0.9.8b in /lib directory.
still it shows the same errors.
am i proceeding in the right direction

Marking pam_mount-0.13.0.i586.rpm to be installed

i tried to use Cent OS. issue persists.
i downloaded the tar file so that i can do a ./configure and make, still it failed saying a libHX not found.

plz let me know where i m going wrong here n how i need to tackle such stuff going forward.

You're using EOL software. Backup data and install F10.

well the issue is not specific to F8
i had the same issue with RHEL5.2 and CentOS 5.2 as well.

Don't use unverified packages .
