That is fine. That is the correct behaviour. If you want to compile the SRPM
and install it, give the command

rpm --rebuild wget-1.5.3-5.src.rpm

libtoolize is in the libtool package. You probably need that installed.
(Even though rpm -qR wget on my RHL 6.0 doesn't show libtool).

Anyway, to build the binary RPM, give the command

rpm -bb <spec file name>
