asterisk users - Mar 2009 - How to install spandsp from source in lenny ?

Hi,

I'm trying to install spandsp from source in a Debian Lenny system.
I did :

cd /usr/src
wget http://www.soft-switch.org/downloads/spandsp/spandsp-0.0.6pre5.tgz
tar xvf spandsp-0.0.6pre5.tgz
cd spandsp-0.0.6
./configure
make
make install

When doing this, spandsp warns me that librairies are installed in
/usr/local/lib  with this message :
"Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages."


While this message should be perfectly clear for many, I don't feel too
confident that this /usr/local/lib is the right location (as I'm quite new
to this).

Anyway, whenever I'm typing make menuselect, app-fax is greyed out as in my
opinion, spandsp libriaries have not been found.

Maybe, I should have typed something like (as suggested
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk%20T.38) "./configure
--prefix=/usr" but I prefer to ask here, as I'm afraid to spoil
everything
giving wrong input.

Which value shall I give to configure, when installing spandsp0.0.6 from
source ?

Best regards

You can do this, which will put the spandsp library in /usr/lib where
"configure" for Asterisk can find it, or you can run Asterisk's
configure as "configure --with-spandsp=/usr/local" to tell it to look
where you have already installed it.
