[Freeswitch-users] Building on Ubuntu Intrepid

[Anthony Minessale]

1) There is an incompatibility on the fake ncurses wrapper that causes an
instant seg fault unless you install the real ncurses.
2) The bleeding edge GCC builds an openzap binary that crashes instantly
with no explanation in the core file from a minimal -O2 (that's just the one
copmiler bug that we know about for sure, like cock roaches, see one, there
are probably 1000)
3) They upgraded to libtool 2.0 which builds binaries that will not start.
(easier said than done to upgrade ours too as we have to make sure we work
on *every* plarform and the upgrade to make it work would break other
operating systems we support)

Bottom line, it's not their fault or anything but the choice to use all
brand new versions of everything under the sun is not a good idea for your
server, it's great that we have bleeding edge stuff or we would not have
anyone to test stuff, we have a similar group of people always running SVN
trunk of the day.  But it's hard to stabalize code when both your code and
the OS may be unstable at the same time.

There is a reason they call it bleeding vs stable, which one would you
rather be if you were in the hospital. =D
