./configure still fails with error: libtermcap, libcurses or libncurses are required!
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
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>

Thanks Vitalie. I did much the same by re-installing Centos w/ more options and adding the packages you showed. There is so much misinformation out there on this. Thank you for your time.

I got past this since it took 2 days to post. The problem was in the link that showed how/what to install during the CENTOS install. I went back and used some common sense. I installed server with very little default add-ons, but I added several developer library options. I ended up with a bigger Centos install than I probably needed, but then FreeSwitch went much better.
