[SOLVED] compile error asterisk 17.6.0-1 archlinux

Hello,

When i want to compile asterisk 17.6.0-1 on my archlinux, i have this error

checking for pkg-config... no
checking for LIBEDIT... no
checking for history_init in -ledit... no
configure: error: *** Please install the 'libedit' development package.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
error making: asterisk

But i install
pacman -S git sudo binutils make gcc fakeroot wget patch libedit gettext

in reality without the package ’ pkg-config ', the compilation fail and say
Please install the ‘libedit’ development package

Maybe i do something wrong, but the error message is misleading

if this message can help someone.

Thank for reporting. Please, file a report at issues.asterisk.org … Component: Core/BuildSystem
By the way, Asterisk has a handy script to avoid such things: ./contrib/scripts/install_prereq
Anyway, the error message need to be improved. Therefore, file any issue for that, please.
