in anycase if you do need ip-forwarding you need not actually recompile.
Most likely you have to enable ith through the /proc filesystem. Do a
sysctl -a this will show yuou all the tunable parameters, there will be
one for enabling ip forwarding, giving the name of the file that has to be
changed. So just echo a "1" into that file.
onthe otherhand if sysctl -A does not show such an option you have to
recompile with the ip forwarding option
