fabrice, i followed all the suggestions you told me but when i invoked the command: $ make KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.5 to install my new patched iptables there was an error appeared at the end of the process, this is the last message in the error: In file included from /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4.h:8, from /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h:25 from include/libiptc/ibiptc.h:6, from include/iptables.h:5, from extensions/libipt_ipv4options.c:8: /usr/src/linux-2.6.5/include/config.h:6.2: #error including kernel header in userspace; use the glibc headers instead! make: *** [extensions/libipt_ipv4options_sh.o] Error 1 what should i do to avoid this message and to install libipt_ipv4options flawlessly? thanks in advance, Ryan On Wed, 2004-07-14 at 02:07, Fabrice MARIE wrote: > Hello, > > On 13 July 2004 pm 17:20, Ryan Pagquil wrote: > > Guys, > > I'm generating scripts using FWBuilder, when i specify IP protocol on > > my firewall rules and compile it then run the script generated by > > FWBuilder, iptables prompt me that libipt_ipv4options.so file can't be > > found. how can i install this file? > > Downoad the latest version of iptable from CVS, latest version of patch-o-matic-ng from > CVS.
