What is happening is that the configure script can't find necessary header
files included in the IP-Filter package.

Note, the two options:-

  --enable-ipf-transparent
                          Enable Transparent Proxy support for systems
                          using IP-Filter network address redirection.
  --enable-linux-netfilter
                          Enable Transparent Proxy support for Linux 2.4

sound like they are mutually exclusive. If you use one, I don't know if
you can use the other.
