HI,

I have installed Following version of Redhat:

Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)

Downloaded Asterisk Tarball from following link :

[digium.com/elqNow/elqRedir.h … 4.4.tar.gz](http://www.digium.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://ftp.digium.com/pub/asterisk/releases/asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz)

```auto
gunzip asterisk-1.4.4.tar.gz
```

Note – tar -zxvf gives following error  
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format  
tar: Child returned status 1  
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

So tried this `
tar -xvf asterisk-1.4.4.tar
`  
now

`
cd asterisk-1.4.4.tar
make clean 
make `

```auto
[root@localhost asterisk-1.4.4]# make
****
 **** The configure script must be executed before running 'make'.
****
make: *** [makeopts] Error 1
```

Please help me to resolve this issue, or post the step by step instruction to get asterisk successfully installed on my box.

Thanks  
MAAC.

Why RedHat 9? It is very old. Anyways, you must run “./configure” before “make”.
