This just bit me too.  I see it is fixed in FC5:
* Tue Jan 24 2006 Thomas Woerner <twoerner> 1.3.4-3
- added important iptables header files to devel package

Building ipp2p (ipp2p.org) and linux-igd (linux-igd.sourceforge.net) also need 
these headers.

Do you want me/someone to supply a patch?

Comment 2 Greg Swallow 2006-08-22 16:24:24 UTC
Another related issue - This bug -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181982 - is not fixed yet
in Rawhide, but it is also needed as the patch done in version 1.3.4-3 is not
sufficient to build linux-igd.




Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2006-09-05 19:47:16 UTC
The component this request has been filed against is not planned for inclusion
in the next update. The decision is based on weighting the priority and number
of requests for a component as well as the impact on the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux user-base: other components are considered having higher priority and the
number of changes we intend to include in update cycles is limited.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2006-09-05 20:01:02 UTC
Product Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal this
decision by reopening this request.
