Description maletek 2004-11-17 07:22:57 UTC
When I try to use the match recent option with iptables, it reports that it can not find the /lib/iptables/libipt_recent.so file. I looked for this file and indeed it is no where to be found.

I have tried to unmerge iptables, emerge sync, updated my packages, then remerge and still the same issue. I am able to reproduce this on another pc that I have that is running the 2.4 kernel, however my 3rd box that has the 2.6 kernel does seem to have the file.

I have been able to dirty fix it by downloading the iptables sources and installing it over what I have to get the file and it is working fine at the moment.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run 2.4 kernel
2. emerge iptables
3. /lib/iptables/libipt_recent.so is not found

Actual Results:  
iptables reports /lib/iptables/libipt_recent.so is not found

Expected Results:  
created the /lib/iptables/libipt_recent.so file

Above is from the log and all appears fine in during the emerge.

I can't reproduce this using vanilla-sources-2.4.30, and there has been no comments for a long time, so I'm going to close this for the moment, please re-open if it persists for you (on recent kernels).

I have this problem, using the 2.6.23.1 vanilla-sources.
Comment 3 Randall Wald 2007-11-10 11:00:16 UTC
Never mind, adding the "extensions" USE flag fixed everything.
