ipq_packet_msg_t - dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

ipq_packet_msg_t - dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

[Essien Ita Essien]

Hi,

I'm trying to follow the tutorial in the libipq man page, with just a 
little modification, and i get a compile error when i try to access the 
ipq_packet_msg_t structure. I've checked where ipq_packet_msg_t is 
defined, and found it in <linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_queue.h>, which i've 
found is conditionally included in <libipq.h> already. I even tried 
including straight into the program.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

thanks.

The error i get is:

first.c: In function `main':
first.c:47: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
first.c:51: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type



The program is:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <linux/netfilter.h>
#include <libipq.h>
#include <linux/ip.h>
#include <linux/tcp.h>

     if (!h)
