How to create a .so file

How to create a .so file

[ISLERO77]

	Hi, 
 
	When I try to use the mport module, I receive this message: 
 
iptables v1.2.5: Couldn't load match `mport':/usr/lib/iptables/libipt_mport.so: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 
 
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information. 
 
	How can I create this .so file? 
 
	Regards, 
 
	Juan.

Hi Juan,

You've patched your kernel with the mport match, but you didn't
recompile your iptables userspace application. Download the
source tarball and compile it with the KERNEL_DIR variable
pointing to the kernel source directory.

Also, watch out for /sbin/iptables & /usr/lib/iptables/...  vs.
/usr/local/sbin/iptables & /usr/local/lib/iptables/...
mismatches when installing the newer iptables version.

Filip
