Bug 2817 – Iptables does not build

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 10424
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Francisco León 2002-05-17 21:08:57 UTC]

I am installing gentoo , emerge system and when iptables comes up i get this 
error:

cc  -Wall -Wunused -I/usr/src/linux/include -Iinclude/
-DNETFILTER_VERSION=\"1.2.6a\"  -DIPT_LIB_DIR=\"/lib/iptables\" -c -o
iptables.o iptables.c

iptables.c:141: redefinition of	ipt_get_target'

/usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h:294: 	ipt_get_target'
previously defined here

make: *** [iptables.o] Error 

The error suggests me that this is an iptables bug

Jon, maybe a mistaken assign to you, but if you can sort this one, that would be
cool

[Comment 2 Francisco León 2002-05-21 16:59:35 UTC]

i retried to build iptables and this time it worked. maybe it just does not 
build with the default kernel before compiling your own one

[Comment 3 Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-05-25 10:16:56 UTC]

I was thinking it would be the kernel, too.

Thanks for the update!

If this happens again, it's almost certainly a kernel problem.

think we can find a quick little explanation of how to fix it ?

I'm confused. Does this mean it IS a kernel issue? And if so, would a custom
kernel resolve it?
