IPfilter 4.1.2 on Tru64 5.1b (/dev/ipl open device: No such device or address)

Hello all,

I am trying to get IPFilter 4.1.2 on Tru64 5.1b.

I am facing few problems with the make install-osf.
I looked into archives but did not find any solution
to this problem.

I followed the instructions as given in INSTALL.Tru64

make tru64 completes without any issues.

make install-osf exits saying

---------------------------------------------
(cd OSF/`OSF/cpurev`; make -f Makefile.ipsend
INSTALL=install install "TOP=../.." 'CFLAGS=-I$(TOP)
-D_BSD_SOURCE ' "IPFLOG=-DIPFILTER_LOG"
"LOGFAC=-DLOGFAC=LOG_LOCAL0"
"POLICY=-DIPF_DEFAULT_PASS=FR_PASS" "SOLARIS2="
"DEBUG=-g" "DCPU=`uname -m`" "LIBBPF=" "CPUDIR=`uname
-s|sed -e 's@/@@g'`-`uname -r`-`uname -m`" "IPFBPF="
'STATETOP_CFLAGS=' "BPFILTER=" 'STATETOP_INC='
'STATETOP_LIB=' "BITS=" "OBJ=."
"LOOKUP=-DIPFILTER_LOOKUP -DIPFILTER_SCAN" "COMPIPF="

-DIPFILTER_SCAN -DIPFILTER_SYNC -DIPFILTER_CKSUM'
'LIBBPF=' "IPFLKM=-DIPFILTER_LKM"; cd ..)
Make: Don't know how to make install. Stop.
*** Exit 1
Stop.
----------------------------------

In Makefile.ipsend there is no target for install.
Also the files appeared to have gone in right places.

---------------------
Here I am facing the problem as mentioned by Poeschl,

I did not find any replies for that.
---------------------

I tried doing sysconfig -c ipfilter, ipfilter got
loaded and configured and the files showed up in /dev/
---------------------
#ls /dev/ip*
/dev/ipauth /dev/ipl /dev/ippool /dev/ipstate
/dev/ipcount /dev/ipnat /dev/ipscan /dev/ipsync
---------------------
When I say ipf -V or ipfstat I am getting these
messages.
---------------------
# ipf -V
ipf: IP Filter: v4.1.2 (472)
open device: No such device or address
---------------------
# ipfstat
open(IPSTATE_NAME): No such device or address
---------------------

I wrote a test program, which takes the file name as
an argument and tries to open that file.

---------------------
# ./test /dev/ipl
Open device: No such device or address

# ./test /dev/lp0
(don't have any problem opening the
file)
---------------------
only the files related with ipfilter are having the
above problem. Guess some thing related (driver) to
/dev/ip* are not installed.

-----------------------
# sysconfig -q ipfilter
ipfilter:
Subsystem_Description = IPFilter driver
Module_Config_Name = attribute does not allow this
operation
majnum = 88
Num_Installed = 1
Num_Units = 1
Module_Type = Same

Device_Group = Same
Device_Mode = Same
Device_Major_Req = Same
Device_Char_Major = Same
Device_Char_Files = Same
Device_Char_Minor = Same
version = IP Filter: v4.1.2
fr_chksrc = 0
fr_minttl = 4
fr_pass = 4
fr_flags = 4
fr_active = 4fr_running = 4
fr_unreach = 13
fr_control_forwarding = 0
fr_update_ipid = 0
---------------------
# sizer -v

Any pointers/suggestions on what am I missing ?

Thanks in advance
