You need to install few other packages - full list is: yum install autoconf automake gcc-c++ git-core libjpeg-devel libtool make ncurses-devel pkgconfig You can find this description at the following section of the installation guide: http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#CentOS Also, you might want to install the optional packages: yum install unixODBC-devel openssl-devel gnutls-devel libogg-devel libvorbis-devel curl-devel libtiff-devel libjpeg-devel python-devel expat-devel zlib zlib-devel bzip2 which Regards, Vitalie 2011/12/23 Sean Devoy <sdevoy@bizfocused.com>
Hi,****
** **
I am a NooB to FreeSwitch. Sorry if I should start elsewhere, I can’t figure out where.****
** **
I ran the recommended installation instructions, including installing Centos 5.7 from boot DVD.****
** **
I installed and compiled GIT, regardless of the errors in the install guide.****
I ran:****
cd /usr/local/src****
git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git****
** **
** **
I went to:****
cd /usr/local/src/freeswitch****
Ran:****
./bootstrap.sh****
That required me to “yum install “ autoconf, automake and lib??? (I dont recall), then it would run.****
** **
And tried:****
./configure****
Which of course terminates with:****
configure: error: libtermcap, libcurses or libncurses are required!****
** **
I have “yum install”ed libtermcap, libcurse,libncurese,termcap,ncurses,curses and everything else I can possibly find a reference to. That help a lot (a.k.a. NONE). Now I get:* ***
configure: error: libtermcap, libcurses or libncurses are required!****
** **
I have googled and read and searched. I was happy to see where this was a known problem. I was disappointed to see NO help on what to do since it was “fixed”.****
** **
I am trying not to ask dumb questions, but I am struggling here.****
** **
It is possible for a mere mortal to install FreeSwitch on a new system? Is there a set of install instructions that match the current realease?** **
** **
I am fighting the urge to throw Linux out the window and go with the Windows build. I have made a living of MS products for over 20 years, but there seems to be nobody left there with a brain. I am trying to move on. ****
** **
Thanks in advance,****
Sean****
