Brian,

I had similar problems recently and decided to compile it from svn trunk. 
The dependencies for the build are all available in apt, so I installed
those, checked out trunk and configured it with a prefix of
/usr/local/freeswitch.

I got the impression it is self contained, so you should be able to tar up
the entire /usr/local/freeswitch dir and scp it over - I stand to be
corrected on that, though.

Good luck with it,

Matt.
