Hi, Yes, even I have come across such problems.... I just complied it using the following command. $gcc -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -o ipqtst ipqtst.c -lipq Just notice that I have put "-lipq" in the end... Well, I have not been able to reason, why it works this way. Its probably the gcc issue. Hope this helps. Bye, Narendra.
