[Freeswitch-users] installing on Amazon EC2

[Rob Genovesi]

Tim,

I discovered that running the following command prior to running
"./bootstrap.sh" appears to have solved the problem:

export LDFLAGS="-ltinfo"

I'm not sure why configure doesn't detect it automatically but adding
the ld flag manually seems to have done the trick.
