Exactly which version of C-ISAM do you have?

Which version of Linux was it built on/for?  Or, more especially, which 
version of the GNU C Library?  And which version of the GNU C Library 
are you using?

The build information should be in the release notes.

My suspicion is that the C-ISAM was built using a very old version of 
the GNU C Library and therefore won't link with your much more modern 
version.
