All support for Fedora 8 ended years ago, therefore you can't easily install new applications. Fedora is a fast-moving project with a new release every 6 months and only 13 months of support.

The current version is Fedora 14 available from http://fedoraproject.org

First you download Fedora 14.

Fedora 8 is way outdated and you should get rid of it.

And aside from the very good advice given to upgrade to Fedora 14, due to the extreme age of Fedora 8, I'd suggest asking a better question. Just saying "But give me problems", tells us nothing. Tell us WHAT the exact problem is, where you got it, and what you were doing when it happened. We can't guess.

'neye-1.0.1' is here http://neye.unsupported.info/neye-1.0.1.tar.bz2

softflowd-0.9.8 : http://code.google.com/p/softflowd/
> > http://softflowd.googlecode.com/file...d-0.9.8.tar.gz
"BPF" is required for softflowd : # yum install libpcap-devel

There are no neye / softflowd packages for any Fedora.

MrTaleb: Please stop multiposting the same problem in several threads. I combined a number of posts of yours dealing with the same problem. Other threads I have closed.

Ok. So go to the link that knudfl provided you, download it, and read the instructions for how to install it. Did you try that?
