Hello All,

I'm having problems compiling this:
http://marek.terminus.sk/prog/ipt_sysrq.shtml

This is on Fedora 9 and RHEL5 and in both cases I get this error:

/usr/include/iptables.h:5:29: error: libiptc/libiptc.h: No such file or directory

Now, the easiest way to "fix" this is it to make sure that libiptc/libiptc.h is installed into /usr/include but I'm wary of this as libiptc.a has a comment in the Makefile that says "libiptc is not a public interface and therefore not installed."

What is the right thing to do here? Install the missing header file(s)
or fix the normally installed header files to not refer to those that aren't?
