On my linux I can find it with:

$ grep "struct ifreq" /usr/include/* -R
/usr/include/linux/if_ppp.h:    struct ifreq     b;
/usr/include/linux/if_ppp.h:    struct ifreq          b;
/usr/include/linux/if.h:struct ifreq {
/usr/include/linux/if.h:                struct ifreq *ifcu_req;
/usr/include/linux/wireless.h: * This structure is the same as 'struct
ifreq', but (re)defined for
/usr/include/linux/net_tstamp.h: * %SIOCSHWTSTAMP expects a &struct
ifreq with a ifr_data pointer to
/usr/include/net/if_ppp.h:  struct ifreq           b;
/usr/include/net/if_ppp.h:  struct ifreq                b;
/usr/include/net/if.h:struct ifreq
/usr/include/net/if.h:  struct ifreq *ifcu_req;

Can you try to find what hdr file the definition of "struct ifreq" is in
on your system?

Thanks,
Victor
