Error while adding rules to the iptables

[iptables]

Hi All,
i am using a kernel of version 2.6.32 . I installed iptables of version 1.4.2 and it got installed successfully.
but while adding some rule to the iptable i faced an error like the following

iptables v1.4.2: Couldn't load target `standard':/usr/local//libexec/xtables/libipt_standard.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

i basically want to add a rule like the following
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -j QUEUE


one more thing i would like to add post is tat
i did not find a library called libipt_standard.so in iptables folder(/usr/local/libexec/xtables)
instead i found a library libxt_standard.so

i tried renaming libxt_standard.so to libipt_standard.so
but even then i found the same error.

kindly help me in resolving this issue.

May I ask why you are using this version instead of the version that ships with RH/Fedora/CentOS?

[iptables]

The current sys had a lower version and according to my requirement i need 1.4.2 version iptable

[Lazydog]

So how did you install this version? Yum or by some other means? RH normally keeps there versions patched well even though they don't increase the version number to the latest. This is one reason not to install system software that is not provided by the provider as you may not have everything you need.

please provide output from cat /etc/redhat-release

try to reinstall it by yum and try again or same edit the file
/etc/sysconfig /iptables iptables must be running to see this file then add whatever rules you need (enjoy)
