Hi Jeff,
The error is being caused because a table that does not explicitly state it's protocol type is assumed to be of type ip. In this case, we need to include "inet":
nft add set inet global some_addrs { type ipv4_addr \; }
There are no gotchas with building the nft user-land tool against kernel 4.4. I have it built on a Ubuntu Server 16.04.03 LTS box which has a kernel of 4.4.0-92.
If you are building on Ubuntu Server, make sure to grab the build tools:
sudo apt-get install bison flex binutils build-essential autoconf libtool pkg-config
...and then follow the build steps from the wiki.
One little caveat - once you build libmnl and libnftnl, be sure to run:
sudo ldconfig
...and then build the nftables code.
To check for a proper install, check the version of nft:
nft -v
nftables v0.7 (Scrooge McDuck)
Regards,
- J
