The problem is that you are trying to use the RedHat version of ipchains. You
need to use a Mandrake version. It is not a good idea to mix distributions, as
there may be conflicts. Try getting the package you want from a Mandrake
mirror, then do the install with that. Also, you may want to get the package
from the RPMS folder, not the SRPMS folder. The packages in the RPMS folders
are binaries, while the ones in the SRPMS folders are sources - or did you want
to compile them yourself?
