# rpm -Uvh snort-2.0.0-0.fdr.1.rh90.i386.rpm
warning: snort-2.0.0-0.fdr.1.rh90.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 8df56d05
error: Failed dependencies:
libpcap.so.0.6.2 is needed by snort-2.0.0-0.fdr.1.rh90

# rpm -q --whatprovides libpcap.so.0.6.2

Also see the following link on advice how to automatically resolve dependencies with rpm --aid option (it needs rpmdb-redhat package).

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

and in your case you need libpcap-0.x.y.rpm package

search libpcap.so.0.6.2.

Maybe you can install rpm package with aid option . For example:
rpm -Uvh --aid snort-2.0.0-0.fdr.1.rh90.i386.rpm
libpcap.so.0.6.2 will be installed automatic.

Hi

As mentioned by Nick you can check on the URL

http://www.rpmfind.net/

You may also want to install the associated rpm's along with this.

When you try to install gcc gcc++ it will still require more lib rpm's you can better install all dependencies together.
