How to fix “iptables: No chain/target/match by that name”?

The chain and target look correct, so it must be the match. Make sure CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_STATE is enabled in your kernel config.

I built and installed iptables on my linux embedded system. If I list all rules, everything works fine:
#iptables --list Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination
But, if I add a new rule to block icmp ping, I'll get the follwing error:
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p icmp --icmp-type any -s 0/0 -d 10.20.3.179 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j DROP iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
How to fix it?
