configure checks lots of development tools and libraries to make sure they are compatible,and also to select compile time options to cope with differences. It looks like, when it came to check cpp it couldn’t recognize it as any known variation.
Downloading the latest version won’t change anything. Your system doesn’t appear to be able to build programs. I’d suggest using the “install_prereq” script in the contrib/scripts directory to ensure everything is installed that needs to be installed to build Asterisk.
After using “install_prereq” script in the contrib/scripts directory, the below message came:-1
[root@localhost scripts]# ./install_prereq

Error: Nothing to do
I don’t use Redhat based systems, but it appears as though you have none of the packages available which are required to build Asterisk. Why that is I have no idea.
@jcolp I completed a Centos 7 Server installation of 13.19.2 yesterday and the only file I am having a problem with is libresample-devel and there was gmime22-devel but I installed this after downloading. The question is libresample a necessity for asterisk to work with an issue?
