Hi, I am trying to build IPTable-1.4.2 with Red Hat Linux v4 U3 - kernel-2.6.9-34.EL. I have taken the following steps- I downloaded source code of iptables-1.4.2. I compiled and installed the IPTables-1.4.2 using the following command. # make # make install # and then I rebooted linux Then, I used the patch-o-matic to apply the set of patches( I downloaded the patch-o-match-ng using git clone, git://git.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic-ng) I am having kernel-2.6.9.34EL source code at /usr/src/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9 and IPTable-1.4.2 source code at /usr/src/iptables-1.4.2 I used the following steps to apply the patches- [root@RHEL4U3 patch-o-matic-ng]# export KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/kernel-2.6.9/linux-2.6.9/ [root@RHEL4U3 patch-o-matic-ng]# export IPTABLES_DIR=/usr/src/iptables-1.4.2/ [root@RHEL4U3 patch-o-matic-ng]# ./runme base I applied all patches (which applies cleanly) and then used the following steps to build the kernel- [root@RHEL4U3]# make oldconfig [root@RHEL4U3]# make menuconfig [root@RHEL4U3]# make While making the Kernel, I encountered the following compilation errors- "net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ipv4options.c:160: error: unknown field `matchsize' specified in initializer net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ipv4options.c:160: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ipv4options.c:161: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type make[3]: *** [net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ipv4options.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [net/ipv4/netfilter] Error 2 make[1]: *** [net/ipv4] Error 2 make: *** [net] Error 2" Can this error occur because of compatibility issue between Kernel-2.6.9.34EL and IPTable-1.4.2? If yes then which is the best compatible version of IPTable for Kernel-2.6.9.34EL? If there is no compatibility issue, can you please suggest me how to solve the above error?
