Seems that pkgsrc has built asterisk afterall: /usr/pkgsrc/comms/asterisk/work/asterisk-1.2.9.1 contains a functional binary. bash-3.1# ./asterisk -V Asterisk 1.2.9.1 which is odd as the build fails. How many binaries does the 'make updated' make? What other binaries do i need? Robin-David Hammond KB3IEN +1 347 350 34 00
