I have just downloaded asterisk-1.2.0 from www.asterisk.org some few munites ago. I am runing Fedora Core 3 with kernel 2.6.9-1.667. I have no proplem with zaptel and libpri and sounds as they compile fine with no errors. I try to compile asterisk (with “make” after doing “make clean”) and got the following errors;
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lidn
collect 2: ld returned 1 exit status
Make [1]: *** [app_curl.so] Error 1
Make [1]: leaving directoy /usr/src/asterisk-1.2.0/apps
Make: *** [subdirs] Error 1
before i do this posting, I have just compiled the asterisk-1.0.9 version on the same version and kernel (2.6.9-1.667) of linux and its running right now.
I also gets an error (saying asterisk.h not found) each time i try to compile asterisk-addon which contains cdr_mysql on both 1.0.9 and 1.2.0.
Any one with details of what is happening to me will be appreciated as I quickly need to move to the 1.2.0 version to enjoy all its changes.(3,000)
That’s strange! I’m running FC3 too and i have no problem compiling v1.2. (Well, that’s not totally true - i do have a weird problem, but not this one!) Maybe you need to update your distribution - in particular ‘ld’.
Yes, i’m using the same kernel version. However, i have upgraded all the packages on my system since i installed it, therefore the version of ld etc that i’m using may be different to what you’ve got. For what it’s worth, my version of ld is
GNU ld version 2.15.92.0.2 20040927
and the version of gcc i’m using is
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 20050721 (Red Hat 3.4.4-2)
I don’t know much about ld, so i don’t know what the error message “cannot find -lidn” means. You should try reading the documentation for ld and find out.
(By the way, ld is a linker, in case you were wondering what it is. It links chunks of compiled code together to make a single piece of software.)
Your missing a library. I forget the name, but I had the same problem. Go to download.fedora.redhat.com and do a search for rpm’s with idn. Download that, install, and try again.
