iptable compiled but errors returned

iptable compiled but errors returned

[Jethro Tull]

I just compiled iptables by doing so:
make KERNEL_DIR=/kernel/source

but the returned message for all files compiled is as follows:


cc -O2 -Wall -Wunused -I/usr/src/kernel/linux-2.6.17//include -Iinclude/ 
-DIPTABLES_VERSION=\"1.3.5-20060622\"  -D_UNKNOWN_KERNEL_POINTER_SIZE 
-DIP6T_LIB_DIR=\"/usr/local/lib/iptables\" -c -o ip6tables.o ip6tables.c


the "-D_UNKNOWN_KERNEL_POINTER_SIZE..." is it normal??

Yes, normal.

iptables installed while old version alredy was

[Jethro Tull]

I mistakenly installed iptables while it was already installed on my pc; do 
i need to make clean and then use my distro package tool to remove the old 
version and then re install the latest iptables?
