Hi everybody , I'm writing about a mistake i made during one installation . i'm running linux 2.4.21 on slackware 9 . -I downloaded iptables 1.2.8 sources . - I first compiled/installed it just with KERNEL_DIR option . - it installed me the stuff into /usr/local/...... - I did not like it so i manually removed all the files related to iptables into /usr/local ( since iptables has told me what files he had copyied in and there is no "uninstall" rule into the Makefile) - i compiled/installed the package with : % make BINDIR=/usr/bin LIBDIR=/usr/lib MANDIR=/usr/man KERNEL_DIR=/usr... % make install BINDIR=/usr/bin LIBDIR=/usr/lib MANDIR=/usr/man KERNEL_DIR but when i run a test iptables line ( just to test with ping ): iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -p icmp -j DROP It replies : iptables v1.2.8: Couldn't load target `standard':/usr/local/lib/iptables/libipt_standard.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The fact is that iptables is looking for lib into /usr/local/lib ( if my guess is right ) What should i do ? Thanks in advance :-)
