insmod error

[Adam Voigt]

I'm trying to run an "insmod ipt_state.o" to load the IPTABLES State
module and it says:

ipt_state.o: unresolved symbol ip_conntrack_get_Rc5444256
ipt_state.o: unresolved symbol ip_conntrack_module_Rb0361033

IPTables itself works, and is loaded as a module already, and obviously
the Kernel has module support On because iptables works, but for some
reason these won't insert.

I'm running Kernel 2.4.18-5 on Redhat 7.3.

Give the details of the unknown symbols in module error. This can be
get through log (run command dmesg, and see in the last about the
unresolved symbols) !

This error comes mostly due to missing header files in your module

same question as was asked last week. This module is not compatible with
2.6.10 and later, and needs rewriting to be compliant with the 2.4/2.6
firewall (as opposed to the 2.2 kernel firewall).

there is a lot of documentation and examples on how to write netfilter
modules; there's like 3 dozen of those at minimum, if not more. So I'd
suggest you look at the netfilter homepage and the many examples there.

the use of 'plz' inclines me to think of...
