can you please look for the declaration of the `rtnl_dump_filter'
function? On Debian it's in `/usr/include/iproute/libnetlink.h', but you
can use
 $ grep -r rtnl_dump_filter /usr/include
to search all of your include files.

This is a known issue, please see:
<http://collectd.org/faq.shtml#faq:static_libs>

If you use any of the ``--enable-foo'' stuff you FORCE the build system
to build the plugin even if the dependencies are not met, see:
<http://collectd.org/faq.shtml#faq:enable_plugin>

Most likely you are missing the libiptc library. Under Debian it's in
the package `iptables-dev'. Please note that the iptables plugin has
that static library problem, too.
