problems -- can't initialize ip6tables table filter

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello List,
 
I'm new to the iptables. I just downloaded iptables-1.2.9.tar.bz2, compiled and installed it with following:
 
(I tried to delete the old iptable version with following command before install the 1.2.9 version, but failed:
# rpm -q iptables
iptables-1.2.8-13
# rpm -e iptables
error: Failed dependencies: iptables >=1.2.8 is needed by (installed) readhat-config-securitylevel-tui-1.2.11-1)
 
# make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.npl
# make install KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2115.npl
# make install-devel
# modprobe ip6_tables
 
No error message appears.
 
However, when I use the ip6tables:
 
# ip6tables -L
 
I got the following error message:
 
"can't initialize ip6tables table 'filter': Address family not supported by protocol
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgrades"
 
The following is my system information:
Platform: Fedora
Kernel version: linux-2.4.22.2115.npl
 
Would you please tell me what happened?
 
Best regards
 
Ying
