asterisk users - Jun 2009 - Speex problem installing on CentOS 5.3

Hello, all.  I am delightfully slogging my way through installing and
configuring Asterisk 1.6.1.1 on CentOS 5.3.  I'm learning lots and
admiring the product but I'm having a problem getting speex to install
and I would very much like to use it.  It is not available in menuselect
and the problem appears to be with speex_preprocess_ctl:

[root at pbx01 asterisk-1.6.1.1]# grep -i speex config.log
configure:43813: checking for speex_encode in -lspeex
configure:43848: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lspeex  -lm  >&5
configure:43906: checking speex/speex.h usability
configure:43947: checking speex/speex.h presence
configure:44015: checking for speex/speex.h
configure:44076: checking for speex_preprocess_ctl in -lspeex
configure:44111: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lspeex  -lm  >&5
/home/compuser/Asterisk/asterisk-1.6.1.1/conftest.c:306: undefined
reference to `speex_preprocess_ctl'
| #define HAVE_SPEEX 1
| #define HAVE_SPEEX_VERSION
| char speex_preprocess_ctl ();
| return speex_preprocess_ctl ();
configure:44341: checking for speex_preprocess_ctl in -lspeexdsp
configure:44376: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lspeexdsp 
-lm
>&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lspeexdsp
| #define HAVE_SPEEX 1
| #define HAVE_SPEEX_VERSION
| char speex_preprocess_ctl ();
| return speex_preprocess_ctl ();

Internet searches have only further confused the issue for me.  It seems
this is part of libspeex which in the RedHat world is provided by the
speex-devel package (which I have installed):

[root at pbx01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep speex
speex-devel-1.0.5-4.el5_1.1
speex-1.0.5-4.el5_1.1

What is the magic to make speex available to Asterisk on CentOS 5.3? Or
am I stuck having to uninstall the speex packages and install speex from
source?  Thanks - John

I ended up having to install from source.  There are apparently bits of 
speex that are not included in the RPM's.  It's a farily simple install 
though.

Good luck,

That is too old a version. speex 1.1.x will happen to work. 1.0.x will
not have the newer "DSP" interface. It does have the basic Speex codec
functionality.
