missing libraries

[maayanay]

hi,

i a newbie at linux and i installed Fedora 14 with minimum services and software in order to install Dynamips/Dynagen (Cisco router emulator).

when i try to install Cisco rpm -ivh dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm file i get the following:



error: Failed dependencies:

libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386

how can it be that so many dependencies are missing? i did not found 1 person on google that have the same issue as me when trying yo install Dynamips also there isn't any reference for that in any Dynamips tutorial or manual.

as there an easy why to tell th OS to automatically download and install all missing libraries?

please assist! 10x!

Google?

If you have Internet access, you can also install local files by doing:

yum --nogpgcheck install filename.rpm

Which is handy because it will automatically download and install any dependencies that that RPM has.

how do i know the exact filename from the error above?

I understand what you said, i did and it looks it works (it installed many dependencies) but it gave another error at the end:

Error: Package: dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386 (/dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386)
Requires: libpcap.so.0.9
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

is it installed? is it not? what can i do/check?

10x for your help.
