Sorry, my eariler comment should have mentioned I'm on an Pentium, not AMD.

[Comment 3 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2004-07-04 04:36:27 UTC]

What version of kernel-headers is installed?  Does 1.2.11-r2 work?

[Comment 4 Blu3 2004-07-04 07:50:05 UTC]

2.6.7-r1 and no, -r2 doesn't compile either - same error for LOCK_PREFIX.

[Comment 5 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2004-07-04 11:27:37 UTC]

2.6.7 kernel headers must be patches to allow compilation with iptables. Reassigning to linux-headers maintainer.

[Comment 6 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) 2004-07-04 11:28:05 UTC]

Patches are here:
http://cvs.iptables.org/patch-o-matic-ng/updates/

[Comment 7 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-07-04 12:24:39 UTC]

On line 7 of /usr/include/asm/system.h can you please add "#include <linux/bitops.h> /* for LOCK_PREFIX */" and confirm that that works? The x86 upstream headers include this and thus compile and the amd64 ones don't and fail instead. Thanks...

[Comment 8 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-07-09 17:40:07 UTC]

This issue should now be solved with sys-kernel/linux26-headers >= 2.6.6 - make sure you sync and remerge. Please reopen this bug if this issue still occurs after doing so. Thanks!
