Are you running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.x ? (What is ‘x’ ?)

Can you try on RHEL 8.y (maybe y=10 ?)

Also you might consider posting a new issue in dahdi-linux on GitHub as compile errors like this are generally something better handled there.

Hi…look, in recent years installing dahdi is increasingly complicated, so much so that I have to resort to refurbished machines to use distros where installing dahdi has never been a problem. Recently, on a Rocky Linux, with this link GitHub - InterLinked1/phreakscript: A utility to automate the installation, maintenance, and debugging of Asterisk/DAHDI, while integrating additional patches to provide the richest telephony experience I managed to install it.
