There was a similar chat Friday on IRC with some users running on low resources virtual machines. I believe they narrowed it down to starting freeswitch with –rp option, I believe Tony fixed the default config not to use that option.

This is my first attempt at building and I keep running into same issue each time. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. My problem is that FreeSWITHC seems to just get stuck when I try to run the binary. And and if I execute with -ncwait optoin, it keeps spitting out a line saying that it is waiting for background process to be ready This is what happens when I try to run the compiled system on a home ESXi server in my internal home network. # ./freeswitch 2014-06-22 21:23:06.011792 [INFO] switch_event.c:670 Activate Eventing Engine. 2014-06-22 21:23:06.011947 [WARNING] switch_event.c:652 Create additional event dispatch thread 0 <and then just sits there.... > BUILD VERSION: - Debian-7.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso - FreeSWITCH master (git:git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git<http://freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git>) TEST MACHINE: ESXi 5.1 VM - Debian GNU/Linus 6 (64 bit) - 1 CPU - 1 GB RAM - 16GB Memory - 1 NIC = E1000 INSTALLATION STEPS with output piped through 'tee' to capture logs: su (apt-get update 2>&1) | tee ~/apt-get-update.txt (apt-get upgrade 2>&1) | tee ~/apt-get-upgrade.txt (dpkg --get-selections 2>&1) | tee ~/dpkg-get-selections.txt (apt-get install autoconf automake devscripts gawk g++ git-core libjpeg-dev libncurses5-dev libtool make python-dev gawk pkg-config libtiff5-dev libperl-dev libgdbm-dev libdb-dev gettext libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpcre3-dev libspeex-dev libspeexdsp-dev libsqlite3-dev libedit-dev libldns.dev libpq-dev 2>&1) | tee ~/apt-get.txt (dpkg --get-selections 2>&1) | tee ~/dpkg-get-selections-after-apt-get.txt cd /usr/src (git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git<http://freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git> 2>&1) | tee ~/git.txt cd /usr/src/freeswitch (./bootstrap.sh 2>&1) | tee ~/bootstrap.txt # same result if I add flag -j (./configure --enable-core-pgsql-support 2>&1) | tee ~/configure.txt (make install 2>&1) | tee ~/make-install.txt (make all cd-sounds-install cd-moh-install 2>&1) | tee ~make-sounds.txt cd /usr/local/freeswitch/bin #./freeswitch
