I usually turn off postgres, and a few of the other options that I don't need as well. It was only when I turned of H323 support that the asterisk build completed successfully. It's a mystery to me why your system got through it and mine didn't. I'm running 7.0-RELEASE not STABLE. Could that have something to do with it.</div> <div> </div> <div>BTW - I tried to upgrade one of my 6.3-RELEASE machines to 7.0-RELEASE but there were problems. I didn't write down the error messages. I simply wiped the drive clean and started again with a
fresh install. Several of the installs ended up warped by some error message about ELF...something. Again I did not write it down but it happened repeatedly. On the 3rd attempt is went in clean and is working now. This intermittent stuff is what drives a person crazy.</div><p>
