Hi All, If I try to emerge iptables without enabling 'extensions' then compilation of iptables fails. root@gauge ~ # emerge iptables -ptv These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

i'm going to guess this is your fault the only time that extension is compiled is if you have the file KERNEL_DIR/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_osf.h this file doesnt come with any standard install, so ...
