I got a million errors, so I started with fresh download of 4.5 and started hitting compiler problems with libiptc. Several edits to source files libip6tc.c, utils_complain.c, mutlitmeter.c, I was finally able to get the tar ball to compile properly. Not sure why I'm seeing these problems when I'm using a stable release, but that's another puzzle.

Sorry, but, I try to reproduce your problem, but I can't. Download the
4.5.0 version, patch it, configure, make (that reconfigure) and all
work fine. I check with jdk 1.5 and jdk 1.6 and it's ok. Collectd with
the jmx plugin compile ! ....

Can you send me a complete patch of all your changes, and a info about
your OS and version of your libtool, autoconf tools and GCC ?
