Are you running an amd64 kernel with a 32bit i386 sarge install? If so
that is your problem. iptables has to be 64bit to talk to a 64bit
kernel due to an alignment issue in the kernel structures for iptables
or something like that. So you do need at least the 64bit iptables
binary and associated libs. a 64bit chroot is one option for install it
easily, after which you can call it from 32bit install just fine.
A pure 64bit install would of course just work.

Thank you for clearing up what I suspected. In the chroot 64 bit
installation an ldd /sbin/iptables shows
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0000002a9566c000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x0000002a95770000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0000002a95886000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
(0x0000002a95
The last library is easy to integrate into the 32 bit i386 sarge. But what
about the first three ones. How can I make the 64 bit iptables binary
which I put to /usr/local/sbin in 32 bit sarge look for the libs in
another place but /lib where the 32 bit libs with the same name are
placed ?
