You will 1st need to remove what relys on it.

rpm -e ppp-2.4.2-6.4.RHEL4.i386

rpm -e libpcap-0.8.3-10.RHEL4

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP watcher69b

and i got removed the current libpcap
but..
when i try to install following libpcap i gt following error
problem is
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) and rtld(GNU_HASH) gives errors again...

you DO KNOW that "libpcap-0.9.4-14.el5.i386.rpm" is for red hat 5 and not rhel4
it is incompatible with rhel 4

forcing the install of a rhel 5 rpm on rhel 4 OS is NOT a good idea
