Yes, well, where did you untar the iptables source ? You have to tell
POM where it is, just like it has to know where the kernel-source is.
Try running POM like this :

KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/kernel-src IPTABLES_DIR=/path/to/iptables-src \
  ./runme [base|extra]

You have to fill in the real paths, I can't do that for you.
