Last time I built iptables from source it was iptables-1.3.5.
iptables are not using de-facto standard "configure+make"
install process, they take make variables instead.

Mine was built with:

# Do NOT point it to non-pristine kernel tree!
# (seen horrible miscompilation on 32:64 user:kernel x86_64)
KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/kernel/delay/linux-2.6.17.11.src

make KERNEL_DIR="$KERNEL_DIR" BINDIR=... LIBDIR=... MANDIR=...

I guess you built your iptables with wrong/unset LIBDIR.

People were right pointing out that this is not busybox related question.
