Did you install from source or did you install a package you found?

3

I installed from source code

./configure make menuconfig make && make install && make samples && make config

4

Well that’s a weird one :smiley:

Looks like you’ve got a thread going already here:
stackoverflow.com/questions/1678 … ot-allowed

with responses. I’ll leave this one alone then.

5

But I didn’t have a clear response until now.

6

I have updated my first post with my cpuinfo and the result of strace /usr/sbin/asterisk -cvvv

7

Illegal instruction is a machine instruction problem not a system call one. gdb should tell you the actual failing instruction (or its address/binary forumat), and will also give a backtrace that will help localise the code that is failing.

An old thread, but I got the same error when installing Asterisk 11.5.1 on a KVM virtualized CentOS 6.4 guest. I tried changing CPU type in KVM from default to Westmere (what I have on the guest), but nothing helped. When I ran “asterisk -c” I got “Illegal instruction”. I found the solution on this page.

The solution is:

Enter in "make menuselect" -> "Compiler flags" and disable "BUILD_NATIVE" option
Then recompile Asterisk

Looks like Asterisk has some issues with compiling on virtualized host. I hope this problem gets adressed over time.

Does anyone know what does “BUILD_NATIVE” option do?

It causes this option “-march=native”, to be pased to the compiler. It causes gcc to generate code using the full capabilities of the machine on which it is being run. I imagine that the VM environment is misrepresenting the machine capabilities, although it is just possible that gcc is misinterpreting what it is being told.

Great David, thank you very much for your explanation.

This looks to bi a known issue with Asterisk and VM’s. But it’s an eazy workarround, so I hope it will not cause too much trouble.
