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

[Manish Sapariya]

Here is briefly the results of next steps.

After looking closely at the configure and
configure.in revealed that there is no file

./src/owniptc/ipt_kernel_headers.h

and the release notes confirms that the
shipped version support has been deprecated.

That means I need to have the iptables-devel
installed to get libiptc.

However as I mentioned in my earlier email
make fails with conflicting types.

To make progress, I modified the iptables.c
with following two defines

#define HAVE_IPTC_HANDLE_T 1
#define HAVE_IP6TC_HANDLE_T 1

which took me through compile, however stuck
at the link stage again with multiple definition
of TC_GET_RULE and others.

Is this a known issue?

Thanks and Regards,
Manish
