st apply the patch mpls to iptables. I have the version of iptables v1.3.5.=
 The patch is iptables.diff and ,later have moved it in the folder iptables=
-1.3.5, I have thrown the command:

I noticed a flaw with the patch, but it can be ignored.  Try this:

[koko6 9:45am jleu]~/clients/tmp-> ls
iptables-1.3.5.tar.bz2  mpls-linux/
[koko6 9:45am jleu]~/clients/tmp-> tar -jxvf iptables-1.3.5.tar.bz2=20

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

As you can see it tries to patch redhat/iptables.spec and make-rpm-jleu
which do not exist in the iptables distributionl, just skip
the patch.

BTW why are you trying to compile iptables, why not use the RPMs I
distribute?  Or at the minimum use the SRPMs to build your own.
