I am having problems in installing modules necessary for libipq (ip_queue
and iptable_filter). Now from the documentation, I found out that the kernel
should also support netlink sockets (IP_NF_QUEUE). When I add this as a
module, I can install ip_queue but cannot find the ip_nf_queue module. When
I add the netlink socket support and compile it with the kernel, I cannot
install ip_queue and receive a message stating "segmentation fault" when
running "modprobe ip_queue". 

Regarding starting and stopping the c program, this is what I do:

To start = ./a.out  
To stop = cntrl C

Is this what you meant by starting after compilation and stopping before
making any changes and recompilation? I am stuck with this libipq and QUEUE
issue for more than a week now, your help will be highly appreciated.

You also need to start what you have compiled, if not nothing will happen.

lost!!!

No idea, but as you can insert the QUEUE target this probably is a 
non-issue.
