Ah... Is there any way I could have known that? Anyways, it works now.

Okay, I've upgraded now glibc and gcc now.




I tried getting iptables from
ftp://ftp.slackware-brasil.com.br/slackware-8.0/slakware/n1/iptables.tgz.
It installed fine, but I think I need ip_tables.o... I tried using the
files from both
ftp://ftp.slackware-brasil.com.br/slackware-8.0/modules/2.4.5-no-smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o.gz
and 
ftp://ftp.slackware-brasil.com.br/slackware-8.0/modules/2.4.5-smp/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_tables.o.gz,
and neither one work, which is not all that surprising. I also found
the source code for the file, and tried compiling it, however I get
the following errors:

ip_tables.c:13: linux/kmod.h: No such file or directory
ip_tables.c:14: linux/vmalloc.h: No such file or directory
ip_tables.c:20: net/ip.h: No such file or directory
ip_tables.c:21: asm/uaccess.h: No such file or directory
ip_tables.c:25: linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h: No such file or directory
ip_tables.c:61: linux/netfilter_ipv4/lockhelp.h: No such file or directory
ip_tables.c:62: linux/netfilter_ipv4/listhelp.h: No such file or directory


I'm guessing I need kmod.h, vmalloc.h, ip.h and uaccess.h then... I've
looked around a bit, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Are .h
files source files? In what directory are they supposed to go? It
obviously doesn't show the whole path. What do they do?
