[collectd] Problems building with gentoo linux / --with-libiptc=shipped

[Andreas K. Huettel]

Hi, 

I'm packaging the current collectd version for Gentoo Linux. As a source-based 
distribution, Gentoo has all the libs and includes, so I use  --with-
libiptc=shipped. 

However, the problem is that make still tries to compile the libiptc packaged 
with collectd (which makes no sense once this switch is used). [Compile failes 
because then of some type redefinition.]

I went around the problem by patching the Makefile.am's, see below. This works 
nicely. However, may I suggest for future releases that in the case of --with-
libiptc=shipped the co-packaged libiptc is not even built anymore?!

Thanks for your consideration...
Best, Andreas
