NEW ASTERISK USER - Question about Linux platform

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi all,

I am a new user to Asterisk and am seeking decent to good info(or better) to help me setup my Asterisk system. I have a older hp (not sure model num) with I5-443 cpu, 64bit, 8GB ram.

I am trying to install certified asterisk 13.18-cert2.

I go through the installation process until I get to this part:

I am trying to get Asterisk installed and up and running but I get to the part where
i did this line: ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib64
that completed with this line:
configure: error: *** uuid support not found (this typically means the uuid development package is missing

I then ran the : make menuselect command and got this :slight_smile:

**** The configure script must be executed before running ā€˜makeā€™.
Makefile:109: makeopts: No such file or directory

*** Please run ā€œ./configureā€.

make: *** [makeopts] Error 1

I could use any help. Thank you.

Trying fixing you dependencies issue using the install_prereq install script

1- cd asterisk-*
2- contrib/scripts/install_prereq install

Hi ambiorixg12,

Merci Beaucoup! your solution was PERFECT!!!

ONE other question if you donā€™t mind. Everything worked and all went well
until the last step when I got this error:
Unable to connect to remote asterisk (does /var/run/asterisk/asterisk.ctl
exist?)

Where does this file normally come from? Am I supposed to create it?

It is created by Asterisk when you run it with any option except -c, and is deleted on a controlled shutdown.

I have a new question for you hope you can help:
I read centos 7 was having problems with asterisk! So I decided to rebuild
my server like this:
Server with two terabyte drives
CentOS 6.8
Etcā€¦
I loaded the first 6.8 dvd an ran the install
During install I selected basic web server configuration
I then selected two drives to load CentOS 6.8 on I put : boot - 2GB
/boot/efi -5GB
/home -150 GB
Swap- 5GB
/-20 GB

2nd HD /var whole drive

I then hit next to continue the system gave me this error:
That it needs to format the hd1 to a GPT format! Is this ok?

The installer is just asking you if it can format your drive, Assuming you donā€™t have any data you want to save on the machine then formatting is both OK and necessary.

Asterisk should work fine on Centos 7.
