Compiling Astrisk w/ RHEL5

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

I am new to both Asterisk and Linux. I have installed the packages for Asterisk 1.4.4 but when I run “make” Igrt the following:

**** The configure script must be executed before running ‘make’.

When I run the ./configure I get this:

[root@localhost asterisk-1.4.4]# ./configure

I am using GCC 4.1.1

What am I doing.

perform a yum install gcc-c++ compat-gcc-32 compat-gcc-32-c++ and rerun the ./configure.

I ran the following command and re ran ./configure and got the same results.
install gcc-c++ compat-gcc-32 compat-gcc-32-c++ as well as yum install gcc-c++ compat-gcc-32 compat-gcc-32-c++

please post the output of rpm -qa | grep -i cpp

[root@localhost asterisk-1.4.4]# rpm -qa | grep -i cpp
cpp-4.1.1-52.el5

I don’t think you have the right cpp libraries installed. Here’s my output and I’ve rebuilt this machine numerous times to practice / streamline my Asterisk setup.

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i gcc
libgcc-3.4.6-8
gcc-c+±3.4.6-8
compat-gcc-32-3.2.3-47.3
gcc-3.4.6-8
compat-gcc-32-c+±3.2.3-47.3
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i cpp
cpp-3.4.6-8
[root@localhost ~]#

Where or how do I get the right libraries and install them?
