Thumbs up 64bit iptables on 32bit userland howto ??

Dear Friends,
I do have a production server which is running on Debian Sarge 64bit. But the user land is 32bit. The problem is I could use IPTABLES. When trying to add a rule some errors occurs.
Here I am pasting the kernel details of my server.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
unix root.server.com 2.6.8-12-amd64-generic #1 Sat Jul 15 09:40:31 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had tried to install 64bit iptable,but fails.
Can anybody suggests me to install iptable in such a situation.

Thanks in Advance.

What error you get? Can you paste exact error message here?

I don't think so you have 32bit iptables installed. 64bit kernel and 64 bit linux should have 64 bit iptables command. A quick way to verify this:
Code:
ldd $(which iptables)
Output
Code:
 libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00000036f3000000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000036f2c00000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000036f2800000)
You see everything is linked against 64bit libs. It may be possible to have 32bit binary.. let me know exact error
