asterisk users - Jan 2005 - /usr/bin/ld error on make asterisk with Fedora Core 3

I've downloaded the latest CVS as of yesterday. Zaptel and libpri 
compile and link OK but after issuing the "make asterisk" command I
get
the following:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lidn
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [app_curl.so] Error 1
make[1]: leaving directory '/usr/src/asterisk/apps'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 1

Linux version is 2.6.9-1.667
gcc version 3.4.2

I compiled an earlier version of asterisk OK on a RH9 install but 
couldn't get zaptel to compile and I didn't have the kernel source files
for RH9, so went to FC3. One step forward, one step back :)

Any pointers to fixing / working around this error ?

TIA,

Dave

Works fine for me, did you "su -" to pick up root's env? It's
saying it
can't find the idn library. Make sure you have libidn-0.5.6-1 installed.
Also, you need to update that system, there's a kernel update for a
nasty (albeit local) security hole.
