Also, be aware that Fedora 17 is old, and if you are serious about setting up an IDS, you need to use a server-class distro like CentOS. You're already two major versions behind for Fedora.
You know,in fact this is just a little project for a course and what I have on my laptop is just fedora 17 and win!Do you think this link will be helpful?Shall I follow those instructions?( they don't seem fedora instructions ) https://redmine.openinfosecfoundatio...n_with_PF_RING

The instructions on the second link you mentioned,exactly lead to installation of Suricata on Fedora,I think. right? so what about pf_ring? will Suricata use it if I install pf_ring separately?
Thank you for giving me you time.
Thank you TB0ne for your quick reply.

No, because none of those commands are going to work on Fedora. Which is why I sent you links that DO work on Fedora in my first reply.

Yes, providing you read the instructions on installing pf_ring, and follow them:
