asterisk users - Jan 2007 - Installing Asterisk 1.4 Documentation

Is there an official list anywhere specifying the Prerequisites for
installing asterisk(Specifally 1.4) on Fedora Core 4? I have been
struggling with a "configure: error: termcap support not found" error
when compiling 1.4 on my brand new install of FC4 fully updated, Fedora
was installed as a base install to try and keep the overheads down of
running a full GUI and all the other junk, but was lacking the
ncurses-devel package. 

 

Once all of the prereq's were installed it compiled fine, its
frustrating I cant find a "This is what you must have installed before
beginning your Asterisk install'

 

Thanks

Cory

It hasn't changed from Asterisk 1.2; termcap (ncurses or similar) is
pretty much the only mandatory prerequisite; the others will just enable
various parts of Asterisk to be built if they are found.

There are a lot of linux distros besides fedora and Asterisk 1.4 hasn't
been out that long. You could take the knowledge you gained and
contribute it to the wiki so others don't have to experience the same
frustration.
