IPT Package xtables was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xtables.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

IPT Package xtables was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Install libxtables-dev on Ubuntu. I can't find a similar package from Fedora. On Fedora you may need to build from sources.
Ubuntu:
$ apt-cache search xtables
libip4tc-dev - Development files for libiptc
libip4tc0 - netfilter libi4pt library
libip6tc-dev - Development files for libiptc
libip6tc0 - netfilter libipt library
libiptc-dev - Development files for libiptc
libiptc0 - netfilter libipt library
libxtables-dev - netfilter xtables library
libxtables11 - netfilter xtables library
Fedora:
$ dnf search xtables
No matches found.
$ dnf search libxtables
No matches found.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xtables.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
If you install into /usr/local/lib on Ubuntu (or /usr/local/lib64 on Fedora`), then you will see something like this:
$ ls -Al /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
total 88
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 228 Oct 22 08:15 expat.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 726 Oct 19 23:56 gnutls-dane.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 911 Oct 19 23:56 gnutls.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1199 Oct 22 08:53 guile-2.2.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 563 Oct 22 08:13 hogweed.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 315 Oct 16 06:56 libcrypto.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1678 Oct 16 06:58 libcurl.pc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 860 Oct 16 06:52 libidn.pc
...
When you configure you can you can do something like:
INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr/local"
INSTALL_LIBDIR="$INSTALL_PREFIX/lib"
OPT_PKGCONFIG=("$INSTALL_LIBDIR/pkgconfig")
OPT_CPPFLAGS=("-I$INSTALL_PREFIX/include" "-DNDEBUG")
OPT_CFLAGS=("$SH_MARCH" "$SH_NATIVE")
OPT_CXXFLAGS=("$SH_MARCH" "$SH_NATIVE")
OPT_LDFLAGS=("$SH_MARCH" "-Wl,-rpath,$INSTALL_LIBDIR" "-L$INSTALL_LIBDIR")
OPT_LIBS=("-ldl" "-lpthread")
...
PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${OPT_PKGCONFIG[*]}" \
CPPFLAGS="${OPT_CPPFLAGS[*]}" \
CFLAGS="${OPT_CFLAGS[*]}" CXXFLAGS="${OPT_CXXFLAGS[*]}" \
LDFLAGS="${OPT_LDFLAGS[*]}" LIBS="${OPT_LIBS[*]}" \
./configure --enable-shared --prefix="$INSTALL_PREFIX" --libdir="$INSTALL_LIBDIR"
<other config options>
