/usr/include/rpm contains a file called rpmlib.h, which contains the
function prototype. The kde source file rpmInterface.cpp MUST include this
file as:

#include <rpmlib.h>

   or

#include <rpm/rpmlib.h>

As the compile command line adds /usr/include/rpm to the place to look for
include files, I would expect the first line to be the one. If you do not
see this line or it is not used, there is the problem.

Perhaps the place where the include statement is done is different from
where the function is called. The "if test mey be different, or evaluated
before values in the test are set.

IIRC, this has always been baddly formatted preprocessor code.
