I’m trying to build a new FreeSWITCH instance from master, and I have to include the mod_amqp as we’ll be relying on RabbitMQ to deliver events. Anyway, this is not working for me on a RHEL 6.2 server due to this error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/apps/src/freeswitch-1.4.19/src/mod'

making all mod_amqp

make[4]: Entering directory `/apps/src/freeswitch-1.4.19/src/mod/event_handlers/mod_amqp'

Makefile:772: *** You must install librabbitmq1 and librabbitmq-dev to build this module. Stop.

make[4]: Leaving directory `/apps/src/freeswitch-1.4.19/src/mod/event_handlers/mod_amqp'

make[3]: *** [mod_amqp-all] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory `/apps/src/freeswitch-1.4.19'

make: *** [all] Error 2

The error is pretty obvious: it’s missing these two libraries listed there, but thing is that I cannot find those libraries (or any replacement for them) for the Red Hat/Fedora distros. I installled rabbitmq-server, no luck. Tried to install these:

No luck either. It was either I was missing some other dependencies, and then some more, and more, until I couldn’t find some of the rpms missing, or the RPMs, after installed, didn’t contain the same libs the debian-based pkg seems to have, as the module still didn’t compile.
