I’m just a user reporting a bug and I don’t care why the asterisk configure script doesn’t work.

No, you can’t run asterisk without pjproject. I know because I’ve tried.

That’s really a non-issue. What I do think is a problem is the fact the README hasn’t been kept up to date with the later asterisk releases that require pjproject. I don’t get the resistance to a simple suggestion to make it easier for asterisk users to compile and install asterisk. > Matt > > -- > Matthew Jordan > Digium, Inc. | Engineering Manager > 445 Jan Davis Drive NW - Huntsville, AL 35806 - USA > Check us out at: http://digium.com & http://asterisk.org > -- > _____________________________________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > > asterisk-dev mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-dev
