Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: RTPEngine installation on RHEL 8.x or Rocky Linux 8.x

Hello Richard and Sergey,

Good morning and thank you very much for your guidance and help. It seems
that my issue is resolved. I am able to compile the kernel module and
xt_RTPENGINE.ko file is also created and able to successfully load this
module at the boot time. But, I am unable to compile and install the
iptables extension. For this, I need to follow the below steps:

cd rtpengine/iptables-extension

make all

cp -fr libxt_RTPENGINE.so /usr/lib64/xtables/.

*Problem:* I wasn't able to find the "iptables-extension" folder in my
rtpengine source folder. So, it is giving below error:

[root@rtpengine ~]# systemctl status rtpengine.service

● rtpengine.service - Kernel based rtp proxy

   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/rtpengine.service; enabled; vendor
preset: disabled)

   Active: active (running) since Thu 2025-09-18 12:37:28 UTC; 23h ago

   *********

   *********
        ERR: [core] FAILED TO CREATE NFTABLES CHAINS OR RULES, KERNEL
FORWARDING POSSIBLY WON'T WORK: error returned from netlink for add rule
(No such file or directory)

      ERR: [core] FAILED TO CREATE KERNEL TABLE 8 (No such file or
directory), KERNEL FORWARDING DISABLED

      *********

Please advise me to move forward and thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Chandramouli.
