[Planetlab-users] Re: libcap question on planetlab nodes

[Yiyi Huang]

Hi,
    I have solved the problem.
    At beginning I installed the libpcap-devel package but still met
"failed dependencies error" asking for libpcap.so.0.9.  I googled it and tried the following solution:
    1. sudo rpm --nodeps -e libpcap (uninstall)
    2. sudo yum -y install libpcap-devel (install again)
    Now it works!

Thanks all!
Yiyi
