Not quite done, sorry. Just a couple questions about what is actually happening. I changed - build_ipset=m + build_ipset=n xtables-addons' install reports, make install | grep ipset Making install in extensions/ipset make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xtables-addons/extensions/ipset' install -pm0755 ipset "/usr/local/sbin/"; install -pm0755 libipset_iphash.so libipset_ipmap.so libipset_ipporthash.so libipset_iptree.so libipset_iptreemap.so libipset_macipmap.so libipset_nethash.so libipset_portmap.so "/usr/local/libexec/xtables/"; install -pm0644 ipset.8 "/usr/local/share/man/man8/"; make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/xtables-addons/extensions/ipset' As expected, no ipset kernel modules are built, ls -al /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ipset/ /bin/ls: cannot access /lib/modules/2.6.25.18-0.2-default/extra/ipset/: No such file or directory I may be confused about your comment, You only really need to be aware that `make install` may overwrite an existing ipset (specifically the binary and manpage). Is that supposed to still true even if the "build_ipset=n" is set? After the 'make install' I see, ls -al /usr/local/libexec/xtables/libipset_iptree.so \ /usr/local/lib/ipset/libipset_iptree.so (1) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15151 2008-11-16 10:01 /usr/local/lib/ipset/libipset_iptree.so (2) -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23679 2008-11-19 07:10 /usr/local/libexec/xtables/libipset_iptree.so where (1) is built/installed by the standalone ipset build, and (2) by xtables-addons' build. Should (2) still be installed? Do other xtables-addons componenents, perhaps, depend on its presence specifically there? Or can/should it be reomved so now to conflict with the already installed ipset's? Also, there's a difference in binary size (23679 vs 15151) for the two libraries. What's the difference -- is it important? I've learned just enough to be wary of multiple instances/versions of libraries, so just want to be sure I'm not going to cause problems with both these libraries.
