Unfortunately, you didn’t specify on which platform you encountered such a problem when trying to run asterisk. I ran into these similar error messages using an asterisk-1.4.x and/or asterisk-1.6.x compiled on [OpenWRT](http://openwrt.org) and/or [DDWRT](http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php) firmware with a uClibc-0.9.29 library. I resolved this issue with a uClibc-0.9.28.2 library.
