Gday Guys,

The current version of iptables-devel in RHEL 5.1 does not incldue the libpt.h
file, although it does include /usr/lib/libiptc.a .

The customer is asking for this file to be included to compile against libiptc.



+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #238358 +++

Description of problem:
"/usr/include/libiptc/libiptc.h" is not available but it is referenced in
"/usr/include/iptables.h" . Due to this I'm not able to compile "miniupnpd" (
http://miniupnp.free.fr/ ).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
iptables-devel-1.3.5-1.2.1

How reproducible:
Try compiling "test.c" (attached)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download "test.c" .
2. Execute following command:
   gcc -c test.c
  
Actual results:
GCC emits following errors during compilation:

-- begin errors --
In file included from test.c:1:
/usr/include/iptables.h:5:29: error: libiptc/libiptc.h: No such file or directory

before ‘iptc_handle_t’
/usr/include/iptables.h:178: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’

-- end errors --

Expected results:
The program gets compiled without any errors.
