Ubuntu Server 16.04.03 LTS does not install them by default. $ sudo apt-get install bison flex binutils build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config Then I install from packages the two dependencies that nftables requires. $ sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev libreadline-dev Then I proceed with building the libmnl and libnftnl libraries as per the wiki instructions. Lastly I had to update the path to the libraries $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH Running nft now shows the correct version. $ nft -v nftables v0.7 (Scrooge McDuck) Regards, - J -- 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
