compile kernel with iptable support

Hi, 

I am a newbie in iptable installation. While I was installing iptable
1.2.11, what's KERNEL_DIR? Is it the kernel directory that used to
store the newly compiled kernel or kernel source code used to compile
iptable?

I also have following questions. I compiled iptable by following as
instructed in INSTALLfile:
   1. make KERNEL_DIR="/boot"
   2. make install KERNEL_DIR="/boot"
But when I execute "iptables -A POSTROUTING -t NAT -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE"
" ./iptables -A POSTROUTING -t NAT -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
   iptables: target `MASQUERADE' v1.2.10 (I'm v1.2.11)."

Looks like I am totally lost here. Can someone shed some light here?

Thanks,
Wesley
