I am using the Asterisk book, as it is the closest thing I have found to a detailed step-by-step howto for Asterisk. http://cdn.oreilly.com/books/9780596510480.pdf. This is the version (CentOS 4.7) of the software they use in the book. (see page 41) >You set the /usr/src/linux-2.4 symlink , which is a pointless old piece >of woodoo. Can you point me to the place in the documentation that >pointed you to it? Page 45 of the book says you can use this link to point to a kernel that is in a non-standard place. While I was sure I did not do anything non-standard (after all I was just following the book), I was having problems with the make commands not being able to find the kernel files, so I used this command to point to where I thought it should go for kernel files. Thanks for the comments about not needing bison, and 'make clean' and 'make menuselect" during normal install. I see that there are some outdated things in the book but I would not have gotten nearly this far without it. My goal is to update in my blog what is needed to make it work as a starting point for clueless people like myself.
