Nothing to do
From the above message, there shown one of the sentence "compat-libgcc-296-2.96-132.fc4", is that mean this package is inside my fedora core 4,2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ??
Or is that you mean have to download those package as shown above ?

Rep:
Yes the rpm packages are installed, which is why you used the command to see if they are installed.
Now you have a problem according to your URL this software is old and not designed for the 2.6 kernel series(which Fedora Core 4 uses), but rather the 2.2 kernel series.
Quoting from the URL;
Requirements
The Mobile Mesh software was developed for a Linux 2.2.X kernel. It's quite possible that it may run under 2.3.X kernels as well, but, the author has not tested this.
This is somewhat old also but should provide you the basic information needed;
I tried to install mobile mesh software into fedora core 4 becauses there was someone able to install the software into fedora core 2, which the kernel i think is also 2.6.X. and the compiler of fedora core 2 is 2.96 if i am not mistaken with it.
So, I think the major problem now is the compiler version problem when i try to install it but still fail.
If you have any ideas about the problem please leave your message there. Thanks.
Sorry, one more question to ask:
Since the package " compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.fc4 " is insde my fedora now after i typed " rpm -qa 'compat*' | sort " in terminal, may i know is that I have to
do any setting to use the compiler gcc-2.96 ??
