(We're now at iptables-1.4.13.) When you installed the kernel with 'make modules_install && make install' (or something like that), the modules are installed in /lib/modules/`uname -r`. That directory holds symlinks to the kernel source: build and source (at least, here is does). After you reboot using the new kernel, iptables configure will find the kernel source by itself, without specifying --with-ksource. If you booted the new kernel, just run ./configure and see what happens. If it doesn't work, then look for configure options to make it work. Besides, if you checked ./configure --help, it says that --with-ksource should point to '/lib/modules/CURRENT/source', not '/lib/modules/CURRENT/source/include' which is what you seem to have done. -- Rob -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
