Make sure you have libtermcap and libtermcap-devel loaded.. To check use #rpm -q libtermcap and #rpm -q libtermcap-devel I have an install guide for RH9 in PDF format if you are interested..

I can sympathise with the new users who get these compile errors because the instructions for setting up Asterisk on the asterisk.org website says the following.. --snip-- You must have readline and openssl and thier respective development packages. You must be running Linux 2.4.x You must have the Linux Kernel Sources package installed on your system. --snip-- There is no mention of these packages that are also required.. bison libtermcap libtermcap-devel newt newt-devel ncurses ncurses-devel ..and while it may seem logical to install these to a hardend coder it means nothing to a newbie who is just getting started in the Open Source world and wanting to try the awesome Asterisk PBX.. So maybe give the newbies a break... We were all a newbie at one stage..

This is probably an easy one but i have not been able to fix it. I?m trying to install asterisk 1.2.10 on a new debian 3.1r2 machine and every time i try to make it i get an Configure: error: termcap support not found Make: *** [editline/libedit.a] Error 1 I?ve installed termcap-compat using apt-get but this has not solved the problem. Can anybody tell me what i?m doing/not doing properly. From matt
