Unable to install install_prereq 's pre-reqs

Asterisk Asterisk Support
1

Hi
I am trying to compile asterisk 14 on Ubuntu 14.04
When doing ./install_prereq and asked to install the pre-reqs ; the script or aptitude command does not manage to install the pre-req

Running ./install_prereq test will always yield the following asking to install the following packages
aptitude update
aptitude install -y libcurl4-nss-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjack-libjackd2-dev libjack-libjackd2-0

When I execute those commands ; it seem will try to remove some packages that is not installed and install some others. However at the end of it when running # ./install_prereq test again ; they are always shown as not installed.

Using apt-get install command does not fix this problem ; nor removing it first with # apt-get purge --auto-remove command.
I have uncommented the last two sources in /etc/apt/sources.list and this does not help also.
Please advice.
Thank you

Hello ,

Did you try ./contrib/script/install_prereq install ?

It is back to where I started !

There is only one thing that I made changes to install;
Because I am using Ubuntu on an IBM POWER ppc le server ; I updated the all the config.guess and config.sub files in and all sub folders of the source /usr/local/src/asterisk-14.6.0 directory else I will get error messages like below
