I'm forwarding this to everyone since many people have reported
libnfnetlink, libnetfilter_contrack, et al. compilation problems at
configure stage that are related to the fedora setup. I hope that this
helps.

[root@ucarp1 libnfnetlink-0.0.30]# pkg-config --exists --print-errors "libnfnetl                                              ink >= 0.0.25"
Package libnfnetlink was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libnfnetlink.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libnfnetlink' found
[root@ucarp1 libnfnetlink-0.0.30]# echo $?
1
[root@ucarp1 libnfnetlink-0.0.30]# echo $PKG_CONFIG_PATH

[root@ucarp1 libnfnetlink-0.0.30]#

Resolving problem:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

./configure success!! 

libnetfilter_conntrack-0.0.81 compiling -> OK.
conntrack-tools-0.9.5 compiling -> OK.

For conntrack-tools compile need: bison and flex package.

Thank You!!

Maybe you could put conntrack to the Fedora yum repository, solve many people  problems..:)


Bye, Sz.

Hi,

This fedora thing is weird. I don't have such problems running debian.

I extracted this from config.log:

configure:19860: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libnfnetlink >=
$LIBNFNETLINK_REQUIRED"
configure:19863: $? = 0

Could you run the following command?

pkg-config --exists --print-errors "libnfnetlink >= 0.0.25"

and echo $? to show the return value. Something must be wrong with
pkg-config.
