Emacs-21.1 (which your headers indicate you use) comes with ispell.el.
You don't need to install another version unless you want/need to
update it.

ispell.el *is* working. ispell.el is an interface to the external
program ispell (or aspell) that actually does the spell-check. The
message means that ispell.el cannot find the ispell executable. You
need to install it if you don't have it, or help ispell.el find it by
setting ispell-program-name.
