Jerry, execute a "dir /lib/libc-2*" on your system. If the version numbers are not 2.2.x, then that is probably your problem.
I had the same or similar problems getting Wisp-Dist to compile/make on Redhat 9. I traced my problem to the version of glibc that was on the system. The README in the Wisp-Dist build directory has the following entry: 1) Machine running linux 2.4 kernel and glibc 2.2.x. My system Redhat 9 had/has glibc 2.3.2 (ie NOT 2.2.x) installed. I believe Redhat 9 ships with glibc 2.2.5. But Redhat Network updates has changed the glibc to 2.3.2. Anyhow, I switched to another system(s) running Redhat 7.2 and 7.3. The 7.2 system has glibc 2.2.4 and the 7.3 system has glibc 2.2.5. The Wisp-Dist build process completes okay on those systems.
