[collectd] compiling collectd-5.0.1 for iptables on CentOS 5.6

[Manish Sapariya]

Hi,
I am able to get this one compiled.

I have following header files.

- 
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-238.el5-x86_64/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h
- 
/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-238.el5-x86_64/include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6_tables.h
- /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-238.el5-x86_64/include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h

and I ran the configure after exporting

export CPPFLAGS='-I /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-238.el5-x86_64/include/'


But it still fails with the same message saying no (Linux iptables 
headers not found)

Could anyone please suggest anything else that I can try.

Thanks and Regards,
Manish
