a) install libtool for creation of dynamic libraries. no matter if
you were able compiling libesmtp (you then probably got a static
library only) you need a full libtool installation including headers
and other necessary things for a running system and for compiling
dynamic libraries (also known as .so libraries)

b) install gcc and remove outdated egcs crap

c) your system is broken. this GLIBC 2.2 reference shows me that
you recently changed your glibc version on your system and this
means that 90% of your other stuff is in no way library and
headercompatible anymore. either use a distribution or know
what you are doing.

d) this is luck.

.... your system is still broken no need to explain something else
its a fact. it starts beeing broken by using egcs.
