Did you previously build 1.2.10 on your system in the same way?

If not (eg: if you installed one from a package manager, and you build the 
other from source), then you may have two different binaries (plus various 
bits of libraries) in more than one place on your system.

As a quick check, what does "whereis iptables" suggest?

For a longer list of files involved, see whether "locate iptables" seems to 
show duplicates etc.

If you do have more than one version installed, I suggest removing the older 
one (using the same method as was used to install it), and then reinstalling 
the new one.

If you built them both from source, make sure the install paths are the same 
on both occasions.

I've commonly seen iptables in either /sbin or /usr/sbin, and sometimes even 
/usr/local/sbin

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Antony.
