When using the tarball you shoud run make from the ip_wccp directory.

These errors are plain kernel compilation errors with no relation to
ip_wccp.

This tells that you have not yet installed your custom kernel.

Before you compile ip_wccp you SHOULD compile, install and test your
custom kernel as per the kernel instructions. Basically this down to

    make config (or xconfig)
    make dep
    make clean
    make bzImage
    make modules
    make modules_install
    make install

then modify your bootloader configuration to boot your new custom kernel
and reboot.

Then attempt to compile ip_wccp.

   tar zxvf ip_wccp-1.6.tar.gz
   cd ip_wccp-1.6
   make install

Please note that with Fedora Core 2 you don't need to build your custom
kernel unless you need to change some kernel configuration parameters as
all the required files is in /lib/modules/.../build (and automatically
picked up by the ip_wccp tarball build process). I haven't verified if
other Linux-2.6 based distributions is as friendly to compile custom
modules.
