  You have to install the following software in order to get the conntrack-tools

 	 you have loaded nf_netlink_conntrack module, run conntrack -E and 
 	 generate traffic, you should see network events)

  see man conntrack(8). However, the userspace daemon so-called `conntrackd' 
  requires some magic spells to get it working.
 
+ *Fedora users*: If you are trying to install the libraries in /usr/local/,
+ do not forget to do the following things:
+
+	* PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig; export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
+ 	* Add `/usr/local/lib' to your /etc/ld.so.conf file and run `ldconfig'
+ 
+ Check `ldd' for trouble-shooting, read <http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Program-Library-HOWTO/shared-libraries.html#AEN70> for more information on how libraries work.
