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 In file included from test.c:1: /usr/include/iptables.h:21: error: ‘IPT_FUNCTION_MAXNAMELEN’ undeclared here (not in a function) /usr/include/iptables.h:23: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘u_int8_t’ /usr/include/iptables.h:39: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘ipt_chainlabel’ /usr/include/iptables.h:92: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘ipt_chainlabel’ /usr/include/iptables.h:154: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘parse_protocol’ /usr/include/iptables.h:158: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘iptc_handle_t’ /usr/include/iptables.h:173: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘chain’ /usr/include/iptables.h:175: error: expected ‘;’, ‘,’ or ‘)’ before ‘chain’ /usr/include/iptables.h:177: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘iptc_handle_t’ /usr/include/iptables.h:178: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘iptc_handle_t’ -- end errors -- Expected results: The program gets compiled without any errors. Additional info: -- Additional comment from twoerner on 2007-09-10 05:19 EST -- Fixed in updates in package iptables-1.3.8-2.fc6.
