Hi vda, I accept your comment and others that it was not a busybox related issue. Well, here is my situation.I built a small rootfs for my arm pxa270 target board on the host x86 machine using the latest Buildroot. I then downloaded & installed iptables(v1.3.8) using make KERNEL_DIR=/home/sara/cm-x270/linux-2.6.16 CC=/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/usr/bin/arm-linux-gcc LD=/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/build_arm/staging_dir/usr/bin/arm-linux-ld BINDIR=/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/project_build_arm/uclibc/root/sbin LIBDIR=/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/project_build_arm/uclibc/root/lib make BINDIR=/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/project_build_arm/uclibc/root/sbin LIBDIR=/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/project_build_arm/uclibc/root/lib install command install all iptables into the rootfs under "/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/project_build_arm/uclibc/root" with all iptables and extension supports are built into linux kernel "/home/sara/cm-x270/linux-2.6.16" image. I then boot my cm-x270 target board using setboot os "console=ttySA0,38400 root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=/home/sara/BuildRoot/buildroot/project_build_arm/uclibc/root ip=::::cm-x270:eth0". Now, when I perform MASQUERADE , it couldn't find libipt_MASQUERADE.so but it is installed in /lib/iptables. sara:/$ ldconfig -v show /lib , /usr/lib. ldconfig: uClibc version /lib: libc.so.0 => libuClibc-0.9.29.so libnsl.so.0 => libnsl-0.9.29.so libdl.so.0 => libdl-0.9.29.so librt.so.0 => librt-0.9.29.so libgcc_s.so.1 => libgcc_s.so.1 libncurses.so.5 => libncurses.so.5.6 libutil.so.0 => libutil-0.9.29.so libcrypt.so.0 => libcrypt-0.9.29.so ld-uClibc.so.0 => ld-uClibc-0.9.29.so libpthread.so.0 => libpthread-0.9.29.so libresolv.so.0 => libresolv-0.9.29.so libm.so.0 => libm-0.9.29.so /usr/lib: libstdc++.so.6 => libstdc++.so.6.0.8 libz.so.1 => libz.so.1.2.3 /lib/iptables is not visible in the system to load the library. thanks Sara Le Jeudi 20 Décembre 2007 11:03, Denys Vlasenko a écrit : > On Wednesday 19 December 2007 11:21, Saravanan Chanemouganandam wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > I have some problem with iptables (v1.3.8) and extension supports > > libraries installed to the buildroot's root filesystem (/lib/iptables) > > running on Xscale pxa270. > > > > iptables with MASQUERADE support throws Couldn't load target error.
