You might have to build it from source, because the Fedora people don't like
static libraries:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries

You might have to build it from source, because the Fedora people don't like
static libraries.
However, they might have decided to allow a static version of libc:
http://www.xinotes.net/notes/note/1025/
If that works, try looking for a libpcap-static package, but there might not be
one.
