asterisk users - Nov 2005 - Asterisk Installation exits with following error

Hi everybody,
 
After running make clean; make install, asterisk starts installing
itself but then terminates after some time with the following error:
 
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lidn
collect 2: Id returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [app_curl.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/asterisk/apps'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 1
 
 
On typing asterisk at command prompt doesn't start asterisk, which mean
it didn't install successfully. I never had this problem previousely,
what am I mississing this time. Did I miss something when installing
Fedora Core 3?
 
Thanks

The message is suggesting you don't have 'curl' installed. (I had
the
same issue some time ago with fc3.)

Download curl (and if I'm not mistaken, you need the curl source code
installed as well).

Then do another 'make clean' followed by 'make install'.
