I have downloaded and unzipped succesfully the asterisk-1.4.13.tar.gz
Then when i follow the tutorial on installation of asterisk, something goes wrong. going to the directory asterisk-1.4.13 isn’t a problem but when i’m trying to do this line make clean; make install.
I get the following error: the configure script must be executed before running make. Please run “./configure”
What must i do now.
please remember i am a newhie in linux and asterisk. thx
Well 
Send your .tar.gz file to your home directory.
tar -xvfz asterisk-1.4.13.tar.gz
mv /home/yourname/asterisk-1.4.13 /usr/src/
cd /usr/src/asterisk-1.4.13
./configure
make menuconfig (select what you need, if you don’t know leave it this way, pressing escape)
then …
make
make install
make config
make samples
cheers
thx for the help
first of all
the mv -line doesn’t work but when i go to the ./configure line i get a lot more. i get an error: configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
what’s wrong here???
owkay just seen that mv means move, it isn’t necessary to move the files. They are already in the /usr/src/ folder

You probably have not installed GCC or Make (try to install the last updated packages)
Please try this before : and give me the lines in bold
[root@-]# rpm -q gcc
gcc-4.1.1-30
[root@-]# rpm -q make
make-3.81-1.1
rpm -ivh … with the gcc (all) and make rpm’s.
Cheers
when i do this :
package gcc is not installed
rpm -q make
make-3.81-23
what do you mean with:
rpm -ivh … with the gcc (all) and make rpm’s.
remember i have never worked with linux before

OK this means your C compiler is not installed.
So you need to find the gcc RPM (probably on your install CD’s) and install it with the command I gave you.
could you help me to find the gcc rpm.
I don’t have an idea to search
What distribution of linux are you using?
Have you looked in the wiki for install instructions for your flavor?
i’m using opensuse 10.2
Yes i have looked, but i’m just working with linux for just a day and it is still chinese so …
