problem in iptables!!!

[varun]

Hi all,

             I have a small problem with iptables. Iam trying to use 
iptables in an Cyberton Board (ARM). I compiled it with ucLibc. and i 
also put the images on the board. Then when board comes up i manually 
insmoded the following modules.

ip_conntrack.ko    ipt_REJECT.ko      ipt_state.ko
ip_tables.ko       ipt_conntrack.ko   iptable_filter.ko

Then i tried to add a policy
                      iptables -t filter -A OUTPUT -j REJECT
 This works well in my PC with the 2.6 kernel but gives this error on 
the same kernel arm compiled.
                      The error i get is
                      iptables v1.2.11: Couldn't find target `REJECT'

                       Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more 
information.

Can someone tell me what is wrong?

This message means that shared library libipt_REJECT.so isn't not found.

I think that you didn't install shared libraries for matches/targets
to your image even though you build iptables without statically linking
them.

If so, you have 2 options.
	- You can install them to /usr/local/lib/iptables (or path you
	  specified clearly when building iptables) on image.

	- You can build iptables statically linking them by
	  'make NO_SHARED_LIBS=1' .
