sounds like you’re missing some dependencies.

if yum or apt-get is installed, try yum install libtermcap libtermcap-devel
or

did you check for the other dependencies before attempting to compile ?

you need to help yourself to some degree. i’m not familiar with debian, but you need to establish if you have a package manager installed. if yes, then google for repositories appropriate to your distro and set these up. if no package manager, either install one, or use something like rpmfind.net to locate packages for the dependencies and install them.

and don’t forget to look at the wiki … voip-info.org/wiki/index.php … nux+Debian
