Failed to compile libnetfilter_queeu 1.0.1 under Centos 6.2

Failed to compile libnetfilter_queeu 1.0.1 under Centos 6.2

[Andres Velasco Garcia]

I could not find a netfilter_queue RPM for Centos 6.2 so went to compile it (after successfully installing nfnetflink RPMs). 
 
The error I got was:
 
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dev/software/libnetfilter_queue-1.0.1/src'
  CC     libnetfilter_queue.lo
In file included from ../include/libnetfilter_queue/libnetfilter_queue.h:19,
                 from libnetfilter_queue.c:34:
../include/libnetfilter_queue/linux_nfnetlink_queue.h:8:42: error: libnfnetlink/linux_nfnetlink.h: No such file or directory


I solved it by modifying the following header:
 
libnetfilter_queue-1.0.1/include/libnetfilter_queue/linux_nfnetlink_queue.h
 
as follows: 
 
//#include <libnfnetlink/linux_nfnetlink.h>
#include <linux/netfilter/nfnetlink.h>
 
Am I missing something?

As major contributor to iptables and opensuse maintainer for their
security:netfilter subproject, I also try keeping around builds for
other distros.

Are you missing libnfnetlink, perhaps?

RE: Failed to compile libnetfilter_queeu 1.0.1 under Centos 6.2

[Andres Velasco Garcia]

Please let me explain; 

I actually had compiled and run netfilter_queue successfully.

My only concern was that the 1.0.1 source I downloaded from netfilter.org included the following header:

#include <libnfnetlink/linux_nfnetlink.h>

while my Centos 6.2 system featured the following one (after installing nfnetlink packages): 

#include <linux/netfilter/nfnetlink.h>

So I was wondering if the first one (linux_nfnetlink.h) was a result of some error or maybe it depends on the distros.

Thanks for your attention

You have to install libnfnetlink. Make sure the headers are installed
in a place where libnetfilter_queue can find them.

Alternatively:

./configure --prefix=/usr

usually provides the expected result.

I had the same issue. Fixing this problem was done not by modifying the code as
you did, but by installing both: libnfnetlink AND libnfnetlink-devel.

Just add EPEL repository and execute:
yum install libnfnetlink*

I hope the message subject will make it to the appropriate thread, but
if not, I'm responding to
http://marc.info/?l=netfilter&m=132671646831409

In short, the original problem was linked to a missing
/usr/include/libnfnetlink/linux_nfnetlink.h

I too had the same problem but it was with an RRM of libnfnetlink form
the epel repo http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/libnfnetlink-devel.html
 After getting a hold of the source rpm off that repo I found that
they're patching to remove both linux_nfnetlink.h and
linux_nfnetlink_compat.h and instead, pointing libnfnetlink.h at the
kernel header nfnetlink.h.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing as it impacted my
ability to build DAQ (for snort).  My install of libnetfilter_queue
references #include <libnfnetlink/linux_nfnetlink.h> which makes the
install of DAQ fail.  I could patch and rebuild libnetfilter_queue or
I could rebuild libnfnetlink, or I could make some hacky edits here
and there.  It is friday and beer drinking might just be in order for
these fixes so no telling what I might attempt :)

Thanks,

This post references dl.medozas.de, which has been replaced by 
dl.inai.de in the meantime.

libnetfilter_queue provides its own copies of certain headers exactly 
because they may not be present (or present and too old) in 
/usr/include.

epel bugs to epel people.

An original libnetfilter_queue also has that line -- commented out.

#include <libnfnetlink/libnfnetlink.h>
// #include <libnfnetlink/liunx_nfnetlink.h>

#include <libnetfilter_queue/linux_nfnetlink_queue.h>

You could grab libnetfilter_queue - or for that matter the entire stack 
- from dl.inai.de/repos/CentOS_6 and see if that works.
